This is the artist's conception of the Davis Family
Home located at Taska, Marshall County, Mississippi (no actual photo exists).
Carol - Mother's sister - painted it from descriptions given her by Mama,
Mother and Eugenia. Carol was only 3 years old when her father died, and
they left the Farm soon after that.

Alan's childhood home, 1865 Snowden, Memphis, Tennessee
Right: This is the first 'away
from home' place I stayed after Alan and I married in Alexandria VA --1951--,
when Alan was in advanced basic training school sessions... Before Panama.
This is the apartment complex where we lived in 1952
when Ginny was an infant, and Alan was stationed at Ft. Belvoir,Virginia.
The complex was at 1206 N. Pitt St, Alexandria,VA, and we lived in one
of the units on the back side. (this view is from the front)

3686 Mimossa, Memphis, TN. This was made right after
we bought the property in 1954. We added a concrete driveway all the way
to the garage (which never housed our car) and a fence around the whole
back yard, with a double gate across the driveway at the kitchen entrance.
