| Jasper "Quincy" (he hated the name Jasper1) was born Feb. 4, 1890 in Mount Pleasant, Utah to Dr. Asa Lee Davison and Mary Olive Raymond. There is a family story of Quincy, when he was very young, pulling a pan of hot water over his head in 1895. This was said to account for his fiery temper.1 Quincy served as a Machinist Mate 2nd Class in the U.S. Navy during World War I. He served aboard a submarine tender in the Atlantic. Was in Los Angeles, California in March of 1920 working as a chauffer. After the war, Quincy ran a Chrysler automobile dealership in Montana with his brother Edwin. Sadly, "Davison Motors" did not survive the Great Depression. Quincy married three times: to Queenie Pinckley, to May Shaw and to Norma Root. Only with Norma did he have children, sons Edward Harold and Howard Calvin. Quincy was a builder and general contractor and as of 1996 some of his buildings still stand in Portland's Gateway district. Quincy died at home on the morning of Oct. 31, 1963 in Portland.1 He had suffered from heart problems for some time, and died of heart failure. He was buried at the Williamette National Cemetery in Portland on Nov. 4, 1963. His grave number is F3666. | ||||||||||||||
