Henry Davidson & Family
This is the only known family photo of my grandfather Henry Davidson and his family. It was taken shortly before Henry was murdered in 1929.

My Dad was son of Rose Baker and my Mom daughter of Helen Hudson. Helen Hudson married Frank, son of Henry Hudson and Maxine Martin. Helen's parents were Keen Davidson and Sarah Bishop.

I knew JC. We visited several times when I was just a little girl. He was a lot of fun! Good humored, easy laugh. He had a cast on his leg one summer when we visited. There was some big joke about that but being a child I wasn't privileged. :)

My father passed away the same week they took the cast off. His leg was broken when a black stallion mauled him. The broken leg and being immobile for the 6 weeks it took to heal his leg took the life out of him. He had a heart attack as he was walking out our back door the weekend the cast was taken off. Most of the Davidson men were horsemen. I don't think I recall your family but I was away from home most of that time.

Oh...I am sorry. I was wanting to share a happy memory. :( I was trying to put your stuff in my book. Your G'Father must have been first born and named after their Father. Do you know the names of the rest of the Levi, Keen brothers and sisters? Before that it is quite sketchy for us. I think we have a pic of Squire Davidson.
