Burial Date Jan 12, 1952
Contents the correspondence of Sarah W. Davis and her husband, David Davis, who was a Lincoln appointed US Supreme Court justice.
In Jan-March 1868, Sarah W. Davis, her 15 yr. old daughter, Sallie Davis, and her 21 yr. old niece, Fanny Walker, were boarding at Mrs. Gardner's boarding house in St. Augustine FL. On February 24, 1868, Mrs. Davis wrote the following to her husband who was in Washington DC:
"I have the pleasure of announcing to you the fact of our having a new boarder, just arrived, in the person of young Miss Ryal [sic], daughter of P.J.- & Ellen Ryal. She has been looked for anxiously all day - but found the way a hard one doubtless as many an infant has before her. Her coming is quite an event, her parents having been nine years married - and this the only child." St. Augustine Florida, February 24, 1868 Sarah W. Davis to David Davis, original in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, Springfield IL.
I thought that this might be a neat addition to Juliet S. Ryall's Find-a-Grave memorial. As far as I can tell, she never married and she remained their only child. Her father was ill with consumption (TB)in 1868, which was why them moved to St. Augustine. He died in 1874 and her mother never re-married.
