MotherMary Van Hook Davis1 b. 31 Oct 1849, d. 19 Jul 1919
BirthCircacirca 5 Dec 1889  According to a reading of his headstone Infant son Harris "was born" 6 Jan. 1890 at 1 month and 1 day of age. It isn't clear if this means he was born in Dec. 1889 or Jan. 1890.1 
Death  And it is equally unclear which is his date of death.1 
Burial Infant son Harris was buried at Sinking Spring Cemetery in Washington County, Virginia.1 

Research Comment:

This may be the son Archimedes whose death was reported in the Washington Co. death register as occuring on Feb. 1891 at 1 month and 6 days of age. The 1900 census entry for Mary Harris indicated that she was the mother of 1 child who was deceased, not two.2
