John Daniel Davies was the son of Thomas H Davies
and Gertrude Davies whose father was Thomas J
Davies.  He grew up in the Wild Rose area. He came
bqck to the US on Aug. 28, 1919. The passage list
indicated besides being he service, he worked with
the American Relief group. The ship he came back on
had lots of people who had married soldiers as well
as the troops. When he was young he was a stutterer,
He went to Ripon College and became a speech
teacher. I knew him because he was the debate coach
at Bradford High School in Kenosha.  He had a very
good reputation as a coach whose students won awards.
I was on the debate team at Stevens Point, we did
well too. His ashes were scattered in Caersalem Cemetery
in the Town of Springwater in Waushara County even
though he died in Florida.
