Thomas Jefferson Davis, Jr.

THOMAS JEFFERSON DAVIS is the manager of the Davis Meat Company of Boise and has
other important business interests in Idaho, while for ten years he was a
resident of Alaska. He is the eldest son and second child of Thomas Jefferson
and Julia Davis, who are mentioned above. Born in Boise on the 7th of March,
1875, he was reared and educated in his native city and was graduated from the
Boise high school, after which he went to New England, where he attended the
Phillips Exeter Academy of New Hampshire. Later he attended the King's high
school in Dresden, Germany, for more than three years. He has been an active
business man through much of his life and spent about a decade in Alaska, where
he was active along various business lines. One of his ventures in Alaska is a
farm on Fairmount island, where he is engaged in raising the blue fox, and the
place is known as the Fairmount Fox Farm. He is yet interested in that business,
having a partner, who manages the farm. In the fall of 1918 he returned to
Boise, since which time he has been the manager of the Davis Meat Company, one
of the principal packing interests of the city, while in Alaska he also has oil
and mining interests. He is watchful of every opportunity pointing to success
and his activities have been an element in the commercial development of this
section of the state.

   In Seattle, Washington, on the 20th of December, 1912, Mr. Davis was united
in marriage to Miss Bertha Roberts, who was born in Illinois. Fraternally he is
connected with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the Knights of
Pythias and he has many friends in those organizations. His experiences by
reason of his sojourn in Alaska have been broad and varied. In going to the
northwest he manifested the same qualities which brought his honored father as a
pioneer to Idaho. He displays the same splendid business characteristics and is
making the Davis meat plant one of the most important industries of this section
of the state.
