Beckley Native Lucien Davis Sees Bright City Future
Beckley’s elder native son Lucien H. Davis born Dec 4 1889 in a Main Street cottage believes Beckley will keep growing though not as rapidly as in the past 30 40 years. He credits loyal citizens and the new Beckley Business Development Corporation with attracting industry and tourism while noting the city’s climate scenery and appeal to transferees. Davis rose from a bank clerk to mayor and Beaver Coal Corp. superintendent then retired in 1950, remaining active and hopeful about Beckley despite age and health changes.
