BRYANT POND – Robert A. Davis, 70, of Billings Hill Road, Bryant Pond, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Dec. 9, at his home, the same home he was born in, surrounded by his family.

He was born on June 29, 1937, the son of Edgar and Lectie (Jordan) Davis. He was educated in local schools and graduated from Woodstock High School, Class of 1956.

He married Norma Stevens on Aug. 22, 1959. He worked as a mill worker most of his life, but farming was his real love.

He loved his family very much and always had a great sense of humor.

He was a member of the Pinhook Meeting House Society, was a longtime member and deacon at the Bryant Pond Baptist Church, where he taught Junior High Sunday school for many years and was a member of the Woodstock/Greenwood Senior Citizens.
