Email from Pierre Claveloux September 2008

Joseph Anthonly Davis eventually rose to be a very prominent attorney in Jersey City with a firm named Wall, Hait (or Height), Carey & Hartpence with offices at 1 Exchange Place in Jersey City. The firm eventually became named O'mara, Schumann, Davis & Lynch some time before my Dad's death from lung cancer in the 60s. Adele, my mom died 2 years later from throat cancer (both were heavy smokers). Adele was the youngest of some 9 Claveloux children born of Louis Claveloux and Fannie DeLa Prade. My parents, Joseph & Adele, were good and loving parents who gave my brother Joe Jr. and I (Pierre C. Davis, originally from Jersey City and Newton, NJ) everything they had not had in their own lives. They were wonderful parents, excellent role models and at times it was hard to uphold their moral standards, but we managed to do it. Of those in the photos, I remember well Anthony Iorio and "Uncle" harry, a diamond setter who crafted my first wife's and my wedding rings. When I was a child, Harry would always encourage me to do an imitation of Jimmy Durante, a popular comedian of the time (40s & 50s). An invitation to Pierre & Anna's for a holiday dinner was always a wonderful event, with several main courses to choose from, and multiple desserts which Uncle Pierre would often overindulge in, to everyone's dismay. Anna was a superb cook as well as a wonderful woman, wife and mother. I believe both she and Uncle Pierre worked in the garment district in NYC when Grandpa Louis Claveloux's business making artificial flowers for millenry went out of vogue (Pierre was taken out of high school to learn the business, which eventually closed leaving him with no useful education).

The west coast Claveloux folks may well be descendants of Louis' wife, who ran off to America (without him). He came here looking to find her but could not. As the story goes, since he was married in France and not America, he saw no need for a divorce and married Fannie after meeting her here in New York, and proceeded to have some 9 children, not all of whom survived. As best I can recall them, they were Marie, Toinette (Antoinette), George, Alix, Pierre, and my Mom, Adele. Presumably the others died in childbirth or as infants. At least this is what my Mom told us. (The Rt. Rev.) Pierre C. Davis, Archpriest (& founder), The Aquarian Tabernacle Church
