Sophie lived at the nursing home for several years, was placed there when
she broke her hip and the families thought she would not be able to return home
so they sold her place and placed her there. She was always very upset about
that. Sophie lived to be about 106, never would disclose her real age. She
had a very good mind until the end. When we visited her she would say to me,
"Now tell me again who you are." I would say, Aunt Sophie, these are your
Great Great Great Nieces and nephews, then she would say, "Well I'm pretty
great aren't I" and laugh. Sophie was a school teacher, loved kids but never
married. She always loved the children and was a favorite of my fathers.
There was a relative named Ivy Davis who was never married. She was called Aunt Ivy. She lived in Kansas City, Mo. Lela Dell Michael lived near her in Kansas City during the war and spent a lot of time with her. She use to go to Aunt Bertha's a lot. She must have been Fannie's step sister.
There are several Davis families in proximity to the rest of the relations but do not know if or how they are related.Washington Co., Ks. 1880
