On June 3, at Fairview, Todd coun
ty, Kentucky, the Jefferson Davis mon
ument, second only, in height to the
Washington monument will be unveil
ed. It will be 351 feet high.
The unveiling of this costly memori
al will be a fitting celebration of the
birthday of the great leader of the
Confederacy.
Fairview was the birthplace of Mr.
Davis. Situated about twelve miles
from Hopkinsville on one of the
principal roads under .construction in
section of the state, Jefferson
Highway, the wooded park of about
twenty acres and a part of the old
Davis homestead, is the ideal spot for
the location of the monument as re
gards both natural beauty and histori
cal setting.
The park ajid monument have cost
to da,te approximately $120,000 When
the shaft has been completed and ded
icated it will be turned over to the
state of Kentucky and will be main
tained by the state.
The man so honored by all South
ern citizenship, as a barefoot boy,
care-free and unsolicitous concerning
the future, played with his youthful
companions in this beautiful stretch
of woodland. Little did he dream that
at some distant future date a giant

shaft of masonry would rear its
proud head above the tree-tops to
proclaim to the passer-by and to the
world the spirit and deeds of his later
life.
While he was very young the bay’s
father moved to Mississippi. So it
was in that state that most of his boy
hood was spent. He attended the coun
try schools fo his home county and
then went back to Kentucky and spent
two yea,rs at Saint Thomas College, a
Catholic institution, and three years
at Transylvania University, Lexington,
Kentucky, then considered one of the
best institutions of learning in the
United States. Before his course
there was completed he received from
President Monroe an appointment to
West Point.
During the three years Mr. Davis
attended college in Lexington he board

stands, at the corner of High and
Limestone street.s The ground floor
of the building is now used by groc

ters.
Mr. Davis graduated from West
Point and entered army service with
the rank of lieutenant. He did vali
ant work on the northwestern frontier
when Black Hawk and his troublesome
Indians were creating great distur
bances.
After a time, he resigned his com
mand, married the daughter of Colonel
Zachery Taylor, and went back to
Mississippi to live on his plantation,
“Briarfield,” which had been given
to him by his brother, Joseph Davis.
Here his young wife contracted fever
and lived only a few months. This
blow sent the grieving husband into
seclusion for seven years.
