The Beach Haven Public Library pays tribute to Michael R. Davis in an exhibit currently running in the facility, located at 247 North Beach Ave. Davis, who had been president of the library board the past 10 years, died on Aug. 23 at age 79.
Anna Serbek, library technician, said the display spotlights a history of the Davis, Read, Conyers and Schonder families.
“They were some of the first families who settled in Beach Haven,” she said.
She said Davis’ parents were Conyers Davis and Mary Schonder.
