Memories of Davis Cousins

Barbara, Margaret, Spence, Jr. and Brenda Davis
Maryville, Blount County, Tennessee
Circa 1949

You remember my writing about the Davis Dairy Farm in Maryville (the subject of my blog banner)? Well, Brenda Davis Cemel, one of my husband's 1st cousins that lived close by on the farm when she was little shared some photographs that she has graciously given me permission to use here on Tennessee Memories.

The pictures in the yard are taken on the side of the house with the drive coming up from the mailbox. In the picture of Bob and Bill, you can see the garage behind them. Behind the garage was a smoke house. On the right side of the driveway was a garden (along with one behind the house). They planted potatoes and peanuts in the one beside the driveway. Brenda Davis says she remembers having to dig potatoes and peanuts in that garden!
