EX-BROKER AT LR DIES IN FLORIDA
Fulham Fairchild (Ki) Davies, aged 82, of 4206 South Lookout Street, who in
1923 opened the Little Rock office of Fenner and Beane (now Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner and Smith), died Friday at Plant City, Fla.

He ws born at Helena, Mont., son of the late Robert Geddes and Margaret
Fulham Davies. His grandfather, Anthony Harpin Davies, was a pioneer
Arkansan -- a Lake Village plantation owner, president of the First
Arkansas Bank and a member of the Territorial Convention and the first
Arkansas General Assembly.  His father incorporated the city of Hot Springs
and served as its first city attorney.

Mr. Davies, whose office was one of the few in the country to remain open
during the Depression, started in the stock brokerage business in Oklahoma
as a telegraph operator. Before opening the LIttle Rock office, he had
operated a Fenner and Beane branch at Hot Springs, and had been a telegraph
operator at Ottawa, Canada, for two Parliamentary sessions.

Beginning with an Elks Club production in 1928, Mr. Davies participated in
many civic club theatrical shows, making his last appearance at a Kiwanis
Club minstrel in the early 1950s. At one time he was involved in a motion
picture venture with a Hot Springs partner, and one film, a silent
documentary entitled "The Human Shield" was produced. Mr. Davies directed
the film and played a leading role.  The other start was Miss Aline Lower,
whom he married when the picture was completed.

He was a member of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, the Little Rock Club and
the Rotary Club of Little Rock, as well as having attained membership in
Merrill Lynch's Quarter Century Club.

After World War II, he was a Red Cross volunteer at the North Little Rock
Veterans Administration Hospital.

Mr. Davies' survivors are three daughters, Mrs. Joseph N. Carner of Little
Rock and Mrs. James R. Harris and Mrs. Jefferson W. Speck of Plant City,
and seven grandchildren.  Funeral arrngements will be announced by Ruebel
Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.
