She was a graduate of Central High School in 1885. In Louisville, the illiteracy rate for blacks was very high in comparison to whites: 18.7% for blacks, 1.7% for whites.

During this time, Davis married the Rev. E.G. Harris, pastor of the black Plymouth Congregational Church, and they had one son.
