Notes for: Thomas Jeffrey Davis

"Thomas Jeffrey Davis gained his early education in the public schools of Harrisville, West Virginia, completing his public school education in Washington, D.C., and was thereafter graduated in Woods Commercial College in that city. He also attended Broaddus College, Clarksburg, West Virginia, and in 1900 he was graduated in the law department of the University of West Virginia. He received at this time the degree of Bachelor of Laws, and later he received the degree of Master of Laws from Columbia University, Washington, D.C. In 1901 he was admitted to the bar, and he has since been successfully engaged in the active practice of profession at Harrisville, save for the interval of his service as private secretary of the president of the Senate of the West Virginia Legislature. He was elected prosecuting attorney of Ritchie County in 1912, and that his administration has been specially efficient is indicated by the fact that in 1920 he was re-elected for a third consecutive term."
