Charles Lee and Polly Ann (Thorpe) Davis Family
Submitted by Deberah Davis Martinez Great-great Granddaughter
Charles Lee and Polly Ann (Thorpe) Davis were early settlers of Crystal Township, Tama County, Iowa. It is my hope that descendants of these children can identify their ancestor from the photos and pass the information on to others. I have been researching this family since 1971 and would certainly be willing to share my findings.
Charles Lee Davis b. 27 Aug 1813 Mansfield, Tolland, Connecticut and died 3 Mar 1886 Crystal Township, Tama County, Iowa. He was buried in Brick Chapel Cemetery.
His wife, Polly Ann (Thorpe) Davis, was born near Rochester, New York on 8 Feb 1818. She died 9 Nov 1900 Crystal Township, Tama County, Iowa and is also buried in Brick Chapel Cemetery.
We can't figure out who is who. Here are the names of the children:

The baseball team was sponsored by F.E.Shortess who was the jeweler in Traer. The player on the left is Fred Sherman Whannel and the player on the right was called "Laddie" (full name unknown). Fred Sherman Whannel is the father of Leroy Whannel and the grandfather of Jay Whannel (True Value Hardware owner, Traer). |

| On the back it says Turners' Real Photograph, Marion, IA. We can try to date the postcard with this information taken from
Penny Post Cards: So I would guess that this Penny Post Card was made in 1915. I am still trying to find Turner Photography. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. | ||||
