Patrol Officer Leroy Davis

Leroy Davis was my grandfather, my mother's father. My mother was also a twin, her sister dying shortly after birth. Mom was 3 when her father was killed. She said her uncle Levi stopped visiting because it caused him great sorrow when Mom called him "Daddy." I would've liked to have known him. All the family photos of him were lost, but I clearly remember their image from a photograph my mother had of her father and his twin as young men. It is my understanding that his father, my Great-Grandfather, was Sheriff of Dodge City, Kansas and was known as "Dad Davis." Mom said there is a monument to him in that city. I am proud of him for his sacrifice.
