    DescriptionA black and white close-up photograph of Jeff Davis in suit and bowtie slightly turned to the right. Printed in the corner is "W.T. Brasley," and "Gov. Jeff Davis" is handwritten on the back. The photo is matted on a cream colored matte board.

    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.
