I’m not sure of the exact date, but Uncle Wayne said they lived here from about 1933 to 1939. Left to right are : Ralph Davis, Wayne Davis, my dad- Raymond Davis, and George William Davis. Their ages when they moved there would have been about 5,6,7,and 8. All are graduates of Liberty Union. This was known as the Jay Brown place, and is why Brown Street running along the old high school got its name. I have heard that it used to turn behind the school and go over to the house originally.
