Paul M. Davis, Jr.
Paul McMillian Davis, Jr., also known as Mac Davis (September 1, 1919 – February 12, 2007), was an orthopedic surgeon, medical writer, and in his later years, a real estate developer in Alexandria, Louisiana.
==Background==
Davis was born in Ruston, the seat of government of Lincoln Parish in North Louisiana to Dr. Paul M. Davis, Sr., and the former Lilleymae Sentell (1895–1981). He earned his undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. From 1944 to 1945, Davis was a captain in the United States Army Medical Corps in the European theater of World War II. He also served in the Korean War.〔Paul M. Davis, Jr., obituary, ''The Alexandria Town Talk, February 14, 2007〕
In 1951, having relocated to Alexandria, Davis married the former Frances Bolton,〔 the younger daughter of Alexandria banker James Calderwood Bolton and the former Frances Sample (1902–1986).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Social Security Death Index )〕 Frances Bolton was a niece of Robert H. Bolton, another Alexandria banker-businessman, and his first wife, Peggy Bolton. A graduate of Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, Frances was a founding member of the Louisiana State University at Alexandria Foundation. Her father had been active in establishing LSUA, and the library there is named in his honor. She was a director of the Bolton family's former Rapides Bank and Trust Company. Over many years, she has been active in the Central Louisiana Community Foundation, the Alexandria Museum of Art, Rapides Symphony Orchestra, the River Oaks Art Center, the Central Louisiana Arts Council, the Alexandria-Pineville YWCA and the United Way of America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frances B. Davis )〕 After college, Frances Bolton from 1949 to 1952 worked as a bookkeeper at her family's Rapides Bank, established by her grandfather and located at the time in a limestone building downtown that now houses the Alexandria Museum of Art. "There were not any computers then; so I did all the bookkeeping by hand," Davis recalled in a 2010 interview. While working at the bank, a mutual friend, businessman Harry B. Silver (born January 1922), a later long-term member of the Alexandria City Council, introduced her to Dr. Davis.
Two months after the Davises married, he was called back into military service to Osaka, Japan, still occupied by Allied forces after the war. Mrs. Davis was allowed to join her husband in Japan: "We were in Japan for about one and a half years. We rented a house that was a former officer's house and borrowed furniture. We later moved to military quarters." She maintained friendships from people in Japan for many years thereafter.〔In 1953, Dr. Davis was awarded the Bronze Star by the Far East Command.〔
