[The John A. DAVIS family is enumerated in the 1880 census of Brattleboro, 
Windham County, Vermont. Both John A. and his wife were born in Vermont to 
parents also born in Vermont. John A. DAVIS, age thirty, born about 1830, 
was then employed in an organ shop; his wife was then twenty-eight, thus born 
about 1852. Myron was three years old in this census, born in Vermont, about 
1877, the biography giving 1876 as the year of his birth. The only other 
child listed is Myron's older brother, Ernest, age seven, also born in 
Vermont, about 1873.]
