George A. Davis Jr's wife. She married GAD Jr during his baseball years. The marriage infuriated Stallings, the Yankees big cheese and he traded GAD Jr. to the Braves as a result. Georgiana (called "Kiddo" by everyone) was a practical joker and a Suffragette. She was the first in her circle to raise her skirts above the ankle, and be seen in public smoking, drinking, and driving a car. She was a voice for women's rights early in the century. Since her marriage was considered "high profile" for the day, this took a lot of courage. (Info supplied by Suzan Kissee - her Granddaughter)
