	DAVIS, M.D., CALVIN W.  An accomplished member of the medical 
profession, a specialist in the X-ray and other branches, Doctor DAVIS came to 
Daytona Beach soon after his release from army service.  He served a number of 
months overseas.
	Doctor DAVIS was born in Atlanta, Georgia, April 16, 1890, and has 
earned and made his own way to success.  His parents are ROBERT W. and ELLA 
(WELLS) DAVIS, still residents of Atlanta.  His father has spent many years as 
a conductor with the Central of Georgia and Southern Railroad.  Doctor DAVIS 
before finishing his public school education was earning his way by work 
during vacations with the railroad company.  He worked in the yards as a 
switchman and switch conductor.  He attended the Atlanta High School, also the 
Griffin District Institute at Zebulon, Georgia, and on June 2, 1914, graduated 
from the Atlanta Medical College.  In college and since he has specialized in 
X-ray laboratory work, and in the laboratory technique that is becoming more 
and more essential in the modern practice of medicine and surgery he has 
qualifications probably not surpassed by any other physician in Florida.  He 
is also a highly-skilled surgeon.  After graduating he spent one year in St. 
Joseph’s Infirmary at Atlanta, practiced medicine sixteen months in New 
Mexico, and on August 15, 1917, entered the army.  He had ten weeks of 
training in Camp Oglethorpe, Georgia, six months in the Base Hospital at Fort 
Worth, Texas, six weeks in the Rockefeller Institute and two months in the 
Army Medical School at Washington.
	On going overseas Doctor DAVIS was assigned to Baser Hospital No. 84 
in France, and was chief of laboratory at that point.  He served there with 
the rank of first lieutenant and subsequently was promoted to captain.  He 
returned to the United States in May, 1919, and in August of the same year 
began his practice at Daytona Beach.  He is a member of the County, State and 
American Medical associations.
