    DescriptionA cabinet card photograph of Governor Jeff Davis's funeral at the First Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas mounted on dark mat board. There are groups of people outside the church as well as a horse drawn carriage.

    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.
