Davis was born in Appalachia, in Hendersonville, North Carolina and attended Wake Forest College (now
Wake Forest University) and the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He pastored churches throughout the state and used Hendersonville as kind of a “home base” for his evangelistic efforts in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Virginia.
Additional information can be found in J. C. Owen’s Introduction to Davis’ Sermons and Addresses (Alexander, NC: Crowder’s Printing Press, 1948).
