Sam Davis - c. 1925
Sam Davis came to Toronto alone at age 12.
In 1919 he returned to the Ukraine and
brought back his mother, three sisters and a
brother. As a traveller selling clothing, he
came to Calgary in 1923, spotted a beautiful
woman (Edith), followed her home, and
asked to meet her. Her father Yale Shapiro
complied, and Sam and Edith were married
shortly after this portrait was taken.

Edith came to Calgary in 1922 with some of
