"Soldier's Sacrifice" Huffman Davis

This is a couple of days behind but this edition of Soldier's Sacrifice commemorates the death of Huffman Davis who passed away on September 22, 1917.  Davis was born in Winfield, Tennessee on May 10, 1891 to Henry Davis and Nancy Jane Chitwood Davis.  He died while on duty at Fort Thomas, Kentucky from a, "profuse hemorrhage from right lung, liver, and spleen as a result of gunshot wound" according to his death certificate.  This was most likely an accident that occurred while Davis was in training before he would have been deployed to Europe.  He was buried on this day in 1917 in the Ryan Cemetery in Winfield.
