    DescriptionA cabinet card photograph showing the decorated grave of Governor Jeff Davis who is buried in Mount Holly Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas. The photo is mounted on brown mat board. The photograph was taken by Kettering in Little Rock, Arkansas.

    Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
