Fulham Fairchild Davies, known as Ki Davies (February 22, 1890-February 18, 1973), was an Arkansas businessman who in 1923 opened the Merrill Lynch office in Little Rock. He managed to keep his affiliate of the then Fenner and Beane (later Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith) intact during the Great Depression at a time when such offices in many other cities that size had failed. Biography Davies was born in Helena, Montana, to Robert Geddes and Margaret Fulham Davies. His paternal grandfather, Anthony Harpin Davies, was a plantation owner in Lake Village, the seat of Chicot County in the southeastern corner of Arkansas. Anthony Davies was also the president of the First Arkansas Bank and a member of both the Arkansas Territorial Convention and the first Arkansas General Assembly, formed at statehood in 1836. Robert Davies incorporated Hot Springs, the resort city and county seat of Garland County, and served as the first city attorney there. |
