Death date

Any idea why the statue's inscription says he died in 1903 if, according to this article, it was 1902? Or is one a typo? --Lkseitz 00:02, 27 February 2010 (PST)

  • I had noted the discrepancy, but let it pass. Upon reflection, it appears I relied too much on this source, which, though it is an indirect reference, is the only one I found with the full date given. This article, perhaps more authoritative, does not spell out the date, but on re-reading, does indicate that Davis addressed the 1902 meeting (the 15th) in December and died a few months later. --Dystopos 11:16, 27 February 2010 (PST)

Portraits

  • UAB has a couple of other portraits in its gallery, here and here. --Dystopos (talk) 13:50, 8 December 2014 (PST)
