    DescriptionA photograph taken of Governor Davis wearing a dark suit and bowtie. He is facing slightly to the left. The photo is oval shaped and matted on brown. "M.A. Sheets & Co. Piggott, Ark." is printed in the bottom right hand corner. "Gov. Jeff Davis" is written on the back in ink.

    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.
