Died at 2602 Bowser Ave, Fort Wayne, IN (Ronald Davis.) Judgement against Samuel from an accident might be the reason he changed to using the name Dwight S Davis. He had hired a man to work on their home. The man fell and sued. Samuel bought their house on Bowser Ave under the name Albert Smith, which is Samuel's brother-in-law. After the judgement lapsed, the ownership was changed to Davis.

Total Abstinence Enjoined on Legatee
No Tobacco or Drink

Samuel Dwight Davis must forfeit $200 if he smokes, chews, or takes a drink before he is twenty-one years of age according to the provisions of the will of Samuel H. Davis, filed for probate Monday. The estate is left to the widow during her lifetime, but at her death it is to be divided among the children. James H. Davis is to get $1000, and he and Samuel Dwight Davis, the youngest child will receive $500 between them, the last named to forfeit $200 of his share in case he violates the abstinence injunction. The residue of the estate is to be divided among the children, share and share alike.
