Narrative by granddaughter, Karen M. Davis:
Linwood, as he was called, was Captain of the Wobegon. He was a commercial fisherman by trade. He taught Chinese fisherman how to seine fish just before WWII and he was barely evacuated out in time. A seine is a fishing net that hangs vertically in the water with its bottom edge held down by weights and its top edge buoyed by floats. Seine nets can be deployed from the shore as a beach seine, or from a boat.
Grandma and Grandpa Davis were heading to Westchester (suburb of Los Angeles) to see our family (Eldon & Maris) and my new baby (Cindy). Grandpa was avoiding a head on collision and veered into a ditch in Crescent City, CA. His Cadillac ended up vertically nose down in the ditch. They thought Grandpa wasn't going to make it, but Grandma had severe internal injuries. She asked the nurse to tell Grandpa "goodbye" and then she died. Grandpa Linwood ended up at my parents home in Westchester (where he was thrilled to feed Cindy her bottle). He suffered massive and very black & blue bruises and he required 24/7 care by my mother, Maris. Grandpa's recovery was very long, it was amazing that he lived.
