Evelyn Davis reflects on a century of living Downeast
by Sarah Craighead Dedmon
It was standing room only when family and friends gathered to celebrate Evelyn Watts Davis just days after she turned 100 on Wednesday, May 10, and just a few miles from where she was born in Roque Bluffs.
Davis has lived in the Kennebec district of Machias for 75 years, in the same house she and her husband Millard refurbished not long after they were married at the Roque Bluffs Baptist Church.
