    DescriptionA black and white photograph of Jeff Davis in a suit sporting a bow tie with his head turned to the right in front of a dark plain background. Printed at the bottom is, "Guerin 506 Olive St. St. Louis."

    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.
