Notes:
                   William Henry Davis was there when Robert died.  Martha was boiling water to take the feathers off of a chicken.  William was giving Robert a ride in a little wagon. Nobody was watching when Robert pulled the pot of boiling water onto himself.  William said it was an awful scene.  This per a phone conversation between William Henry Davis and Kreg Lee Davis during the fall of 1991.
