Charles Edward Davis and Sarah Annie Roberts lived near Sterley, Texas. Charles Edward Davis was born in Cass County, Illinois, the son of John Barton Davis and Christina Liming. John Barton moved the family to the Dresden, Texas area in the winter of 1878. They arrived in time for spring planting, it took about 90 days of winter travel from Illinois to Texas. Charles Edward was about 8 years old then. Charles married Sarah Annie Roberts and Alvah Newton Davis was the son of Charles and Sarah Davis. Alvah was born near Pursley, Texas in the general area of Corsicana, Texas 27 Nov 1894. Charles, Sarah and three sons moved to their new farm near Sterley, Texas about 1927 from the Throckmorton County area. Charles and his sons made payments on the land together. Alvah married Miriam Lavonia Jenning in Rock Hill close to Hamby near Abilene, Texas and they had two children, Clarence and Doris. Doris is my mom, Alvah is my granddad. I spent quite a few summers on their farm while growing up in the Lubbock, Texas area. They had quite a few grandchildren and most of them got to visit the farm while growing up.
They were members of Prarie Chapel Church of Christ and true believers. They set a christian example for us all and believe they are both in Heaven.
