Notes for Bernis B. Davis
"History of Saline County, Missouri", Missouri Historical Co., St. Louis, 1881, p. 612:
BURNIS B. DAVIS, P. O., Slater. Mr. Davis is a son of William and N. H. Davis, and was born August 10, 1848, in Saline county, Missouri. At the age of eighteen he learned the carpenter trade, and has worked at his trade ever since. In 1879, he moved to Slater. He is a member of the firm of Brown & Davis, carpenters and builders. Mr. Davis was married October 8, 1873, to Miss Fannie Remington, of Saline county. They have one child, Lee. Mr. Davis is a member of the I. O. O. F.
"History of Saline County spells his name Bernis on p. 540 but Burnis on p. 612. There is also a biography of Bernis B. Brown on p. 558, so I think that is probably the correct spelling. The middle initial "B" almost certainly stands for "Brown".
