Robert Lee "Bus" Davis, son of Jesse and Ara Henry Davis, was born October 17, 1907, on Hurricane Creek, and departed this life October 30, 1978, in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of 71 years.
On January 30, 1937, he was united in marriage to Thelma Douglass and to this union were born one son, Robert Douglas Davis, and two daughters, Wilma Lee Lott and Phyllis Jean Allen.
As a true lover of the land, he spent his lifetime farming, raising cattle, and exerting his knowledge of agriculture and conservation.
Preceding him in death were his parents, Jesse Davis and Ara Henry Davis, twin brothers, Bill and Herbert, and sister Ruby Davis Shelly. He is survived by his wife, Thelma, their three children, Wilma Lee, Doug and Phyllis; five grandchildren; three sisters, Beacie Davis, Patsy Roberts, and Nan Moberly; three brothers, Horton, George, and Ralph.
He was a loving husband, father and grandfather, who embraced the principles of Christianity as exemplified by his caring for and interest in his fellow man. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
His quiet, simple life may be best described in the words of the poet, William Cullen Brijant: "So live, that when thy summons comes to join the innumerable caravan, that moves to that mysterious realm, where each shall take his chamber in silent halls of death, thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."
