Author Bio
 Mary Lou Davis was born the youngest of three children in
Los Angeles, California in 1937. Her early years were
spent mostly in the back seat of the family car with
her siblings reading Burma Shave signs
while moving about the country.
Mary Lou, brother Charles and sister Nancy were close-knit siblings.
In 1950, they moved to Rankin, Texas
during the Spraberry oil boom, where they lived in
an oil camp as described in the book.
Mary Lou Davis and John Midkiff were married soon after her
high school graduation in 1955.
Today they live and ranch in Midland County, Texas,
which has been their home for most of their married life. Lillie Davenport, Pioneer Mother is Mary Lou’s second book,
preceded in 2005 by Midkiff: A Texas Family, Town and Way of Life.
The author is currently at work on a biography of the Davis family.
