Joseph George Davis

GEDCOM Note

Passport application and census records tell an interesting story. He worked after getting married for a company called the Lithuanian Sales Corporation, which did Import-Export business with Lithuania and the other Baltic nations. There was a lot of documentation needed for his passport, more than any other I’ve seen, confirming that he was engaged in proper business, and not “relief work” or Organized Crime. The company’s president, John Roman, noted in the passport file, later killed the Lithuanian Surgeon General in 1927. I’m assuming this meant the end of the company, because Davis was working as a car polisher in 1930, and as a mechanic for the local Sewer Authority in 1940.

Served in WWI, buried in a Veterans Cemetery in California. Appears to have moved to California in 50’s.
