I’ve recently been gifted several boxes of items that once belonged to Fannie Mae Davis. I’m still wading through and have realized this may take me a year or two going through it at a slow rate. Much of it appears to be book research.
One of the first photo items I’ve uncovered is this photo of M.V. “Jim” Gisi. Mrs. Davis wrote on the back of the photo “A Grand Guy!”
Mr. Gisi was originally from Missouri and lived in Douglasville for several years. He was associated with Freeman Finance for many years until he retired in 1969. He was a past president of the Atlanta Consumer Loan Exchange as well as longtime secretary for the Douglas County Chamber of Commerce. He was also connected with the Douglasville Lions Club – selected their man of the year in 1974. He also volunteered with the Douglas County Department of Family and Children Services.
