Charley Davis (1907-1995), son of Samp and Mandy (Messer) Davis, was a great man and a good friend. He always greeted me with a smile and shared many stories. Charley was one of the key persons who inspired me to seek out local history. In this photo, he is standing near the grave of his great-grandfather, Enos “Jake” Adkins (1825-1907). I really miss Charley and I always think of him when I drive past his old house.
