    Notes 
    • Writer Artemus Ward met Walter and Julia while visiting Salt Lake. Ward told about meeting Walter Davis, the telegraph operator, and his young and pretty wife at breakfast. The lady said she came from Kirtland, Ohio. Ward had visited there often and knew it was the first "Mormon" stake ever established. Ward asked her if she knew "a crazy old rascal there of the name of Martin Harris." "I did--he was my father." Her answer made the others at the table laugh. Artemus Ward: a biography and bibliography by Don Carlos Seitz, p 154.

    Is this Phoebe Oxenbold Davis and her four children?
    Is this Phoebe Oxenbold Davis and her four children?
    This is an ambrotype, a method used in photography in the 1840s and 1850s. My mother, Dorothy Penrose Woodland, had this with her family photos. The only family that that fits the time period and the children is Phoebe and her four older children. Possibly the photography was taken around 1850. The children would be Elija Walter Oxenbold Davis, Frederick William Davis, John Edward Davis and Sylvia Jane Davis.
