The collection consists of genealogy, correspondence, financial ledgers and papers, photographs, and printed material. Most
of the material involves Cobb County, Georgia and the families who lived there. Roy Davis, father of Douglas, owned the Roy
Davis Funeral Home in Austell and records of the business are included. The Glore family of Mableton, who developed a subdivision
in Mableton called Whispering Pines, is featured in the collection. Homer Alonzo Glore (1874-1944) was a doctor, and his son
Louis Harold Glore (1909-1991) worked at Pullman Company 1926-1946 and then had a law practice with his brother Homer A. Glore
(1901-1976). The correspondence and genealogy research of Grover Eugene Barber is included. There is information about the
history of the Cobb County Post Office, the Cobb County Justice of the Peace office, legal cases of the Glore & Glore law
firm, Austell School Board records, and much information about the Pullman Company. Some items collected or purchased by Davis
are unrelated to the families or to Georgia, such as the Charles Gordon estate ledger (1875-1884) from Edinburgh, Scotland
and an 1882 diary of George S. Paine of Lexington, Massachusetts.
