"Bud" was born in Maysville, KY on December 15, 1931, a son of the late Cora Lee (Sellers) and Belvin Applegate Davenport.
He was a member of Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church Muncie, IN and never missed a Sunday morning unless he was gravely ill. He really enjoyed his Sunday School Class taught by Rose Bundy.
