DAVIS, CLAYTON C., M. C.
Clayton Crawford Davis was born at Roanoke, Randolph county. Alabama, on the 5th of March, 1859, and is a son of Dr. Joseph H. and Mary (Gillespie) Davis. Clayton C. Davis, M. D., has been established in the practice of his profession in the attractive little city of Hillsboro, the capital of Hill county, since 1905, and has gained recognition as one of the able physicians and surgeons of this section of the Lone Star state. His professional skill and strong and gracious personality have been the conservators of the large and representative practice that he now controls and he is entitled to specific consideration in this publication.
Dr. Clayton C. Davis, whose name initiates this review, was reared to maturity in Randolph and Chambers counties, Alabama, where his father owned a fine landed estate and carried on agricultural pursuits in connection with the work of his profession. His preliminary educational discipline was secured in the public schools and his earlier professional training was secured under the preceptorship of his brothers, Drs. James L. and Samuel J. Davis. He finally was matriculated in the medical department of the University of Alabama. in the city of Mobile. and in this institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1889. He was thirty years of age at the time and duly received his well earned degree of Doctor of Medicine. His initial work in his profession was done at Lafayette and Dadeville, Alabama, in which state he continued to reside until 1893, when he followed other members of the family to Texas and established himself in practice at Bowie, where he remained a few years. He then removed to New Boston, Bowie county, where he established a sanitarium for the handling and treatment of all classes of disease except those of contagious or infectious order. He made the institution successful, and in connection with the same he added materially to his professional prestige. In 1905, seeking a wider field and more advantageous location, Dr. Davis established his home in Hillsboro, and here also has opened a sanitarium and hospital similar to the one previously mentioned. The institution has excellent equipment throughout and its advantages and accommodations are extended to all physicians of this vicinity, with only such minor restrictions as the management finds it necessary to impose for the best interests of all concerned. In connection with his sanitarium and his large private practice Dr. Davis finds ample demand upon his time and attention, but he is a thorough and ambitious student and keeps in close touch with the advances made in both medicine and surgery. He is a local surgeon for the Trinity & Brazos Valley Railway Company, is health officer for Hill county, and is actively identified with both the Hill County Medical Society and the Texas State Medical Society. In politics the Doctor is aligned as a stanch supporter of the cause of the Democratic party, and both he and his wife are zealous and valued members of the Baptist church of Hillsboro, in which he is a deacon. Their children also are members of this church. In the Masonic fraternity he has attained the chivalric degrees, being identified with the lodge and chapter in Hillsboro and with Hillsboro Commandery, Knights Templar, at Hillsboro.
In the southern part of Chambers county, Alabama, at the plantation home of her father, Dr. Davis and Miss Willie Lee Seroyer were married, December 24, 1890. Miss Seroyer was a daughter of the late John P. Seroyer, who was a Virginian of sturdy German lineage, a pioneer in Alabama and a successful planter. Mr. Seroyer was twice married, his second union having been with Mrs. Hannah Ricks, who was born in Edgefield, South Carolina, and who died in April, 1890. Dr. and Mrs. Davis have five children—Ruth Seroyer, Robert Holmes, Clayton Crawford Jr., Mary Willie, and Harriet Gillespie. Mrs. Davis is a woman of education and refinement, graduating from Shorter College, at Rome, Georgia, in 1886. (Source: A History of Central and Western Texas, Volume 2, by Capt. B. B.
