Erham Davis
Erham Davis was a son of Theodore Davis and Susie Drake Davis. He had been working in Indiana as a farmer and threw the reins down one day and left saying that there had to be a better way to make a living than looking up a mule's backend. He went to Oklahoma and worked in a grocery store. Crossing the street one day he was hit by a car and killed.

Tandy Davis
I have not been able to find much information about Tandy Davis. According to Mandy Evans, Tandy was living in the Tulsa Oklahoma area and owned a large emporium that sold various items. He was also a realtor who laid out and sold all of west Tulsa.
He was an uncle to George so he must have been Theodore's brother. Theodore and Susie Davis's son Erham did go to Tulsa to work in a store out there. The story has it that he was farming and threw the reins down and took off saying that there must be a better way of making a living that looking up a mule's backside.
While living in Tulsa, Erham was crossing the street and was hit by a car and died.
