WASH DAVIS. Wash Davis is genial, kindly and accommodating, which, in addition to his qualities of scrupulousness and high personal integrity limit him to the trust and confidence of the people of Wise County. His tenure of the office of tax-assessor years ago and his present tenure of the county treasurer’s office has been all that an able, honest citizen could make it, and never a word of reproach is uttered against the man nor his method of conducting the business of these branches. Mr. Davis was born in Gibson County, Tennessee, June 22, 1858; came to Tarrant County, Texas, in 1877, and to Wise County in 1881, locating near Alvord. He was elected county assessor in 1890, serving four years and in 1906 he was elected county treasurer and will doubtless be re-elected. He has been a highly useful citizen, having taught Alvord’s first school in the summer of 1883. He was married to Miss Lucy Boyce at Pinesville, Louisiana, in 1890. Any branch of Wise County’s official business is safe in the hands of such noble, upright men as Wash Davis has proven to be.
