List Readers, I wonder if this Omer Davis listed below in the news item is the same Omer Davis who married Mary Elliana Oxford and who was the father of Thomas Jacob Davis?   "Omer Davis of near Springdale, Ark., who was convicted some months ago for the murder of Miss Nelle Moneyham, a prominent school teacher of that place was hanged Thursday at Fayetteville [Washington Co., Arkansas]." September 18, 1913, Thursday, Cassville Republican, Barry Co., MO Thomas Jacob Davis, son of Omer Davis, and his wife Una Frances are buried in Oak Ridge. Do any of you know what Una's maiden name was? Donna Cooper

Well, for goodness sakes - open my eyes - Thomas Jacob Davis was born in 1921 and this hanging was in 1913 - so it isn't the same Omer -  but what was Una's maiden name.
