                       Thursday, January 30, 2020

  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Arkansan Weldon Davis, who passed away on December 17, 2019.
  Weldon, a native of Mount Vernon, Arkansas, graduated from Mount 
Vernon high school in 1944, and attended college at Arkansas State 
Teachers College in Conway.
  He later attended the University of Arkansas Law School, taking 
classes at night after a full day's work, from which he received his 
law degree in 1964.
  He began his career at Arkansas Farm Bureau Insurance Company in 
1954, where he helped guide it to its success today.
  The Arkansas Farm Bureau even presents an outstanding adjuster award 
presented in his honor at the Farm Bureau's claims conference.
  During his career with the Farm Bureau he continued to maintain his 
640-acre cattle farm in Mount Vernon.
  According to his family, he will be remembered as a man of character, 
honesty, directness, integrity, and fairness.
  Weldon's life is a testament to the hard work embraced by Central 
Arkansans.
