Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):
Saint James Leader-Journal, June 1, 1900
Mrs. Fanny Devault Gorman, after a most painful and distressing illness of ten months, peacefully passed away on Saturday, May 26, 1900.
She was born in Maries county on the 26th day of February, 1870, and was married to William J. Gorman, at the bride's home, in the presence of near relatives on Nov. 27, 1889.
Although everything possible known to the medical profession was ministered and human sympathy had spent itself in vain, the physicians were forced to the the awful verdict that she must die. Long and trying had been her sickness, and a change for the better would inspire hope in the hearts of anxious watchers, until finally the summons came and her voice was stilled in death.
The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church by Rev. John C. Sanue.
She had been a consecrated member of the Baptist church for several years, and during her illness would calmly talk to her heavenly home beyond the shores of this life. Relatives and anxious friends were about her bedside, and to them she had a parting word. Calm as in the midst of vigorous life, she spoke of her departure to a beautiful land beyond the sun, and it was a well known fact by all who were present that this was a happy death-bed scene. She leaves a devoted father and mother, a loving husband, one brother and two sons and one daughter aged respectively 8, 6 and 2 years to mourn her demise.
Sorrowing friends joined the cortege in its march to the grave in the Masonic cemetery, and there, beneath the sod on which were placed sweet flowers, the tribute of sad hearts, we left her knowing that in heaven there is rest for her. A. FRIEND.

Obituary -- Saint James Leader-Journal, December 18, 1925
William Robert Davault, better known as W. R. Davault, was born April 13, 1862, in Gasconade County, Missouri. When yet a small boy he moved with his parents to what is known as the Uncle Jake Davault place northwest of Broadway.
On October 27, 1889, he was married to Victoria Cox, and then moved to what is known as the Dora Gates place where he resided the remainder of his life. To this union were born four children: Rainey of Red Bird; Wm. J., of St. Louis; Effie of St. Louis; and Dorsey Davault, all of whom survive him. His wife, Victoria, prededed him in death in 1904, leaving the future of the four children to the care of the loving father, who bore the trial faithfull and reared the children until his second marriage to Mrs. Minnie Southard on Oct. 2, 1912, who from that time shared the trials with him. To this last union two children were born: Clarence, now 12 years of age and Anneta, 7 years of age, both of whom survive him with their dear mother.
Mr. Davault was a strong, robust man all of his life up to February 1925 when he began ailing, but being of a strong constitution he bore the trials with much resolution until death overtook him the 4th day of December, 1925.
His remains were laid to rest by the Modern Woodman Lodge in Southard Cemetery - Dec 6th.
Tracy Devault's DNA Research Project:
"In late 2019 I became involved with an investigation that led to the conclusion that William Robert Davault fathered a son by the name of Harry V. Martin. Below I will attempt to explain how the investigation unfolded and how I came to the conclusion that Harry V. Martin's parents were William Robert Davault and Martha Victoria Cox.
The investigation started when I was contacted by Sheridan Marie (Pugh) Lucas. Sheridan was trying to learn more about her step-father's father, Harry V. Martin. Even this brief introduction requires some explaining. Sheridan was raised from birth by Carroll Rodney "Cal" Chacon-Martin-Pugh (1927 - 2008) and Rosemary Pater (1928 - 2019). Late in life Sheridan learned that Carroll Pugh was not her biological father. He was, however, the only father she had ever known.
Carroll Pugh was told by his mother, Jessie Marie (Chacon) Pugh-Eubanks, that his biological father was Harry V. Martin. Jessie also gave Carroll a photo of his father in a military uniform. On the back of the photo was a note, apparently written by Jessie that said, "Corp Serg Harry V. Martin, 15 Co, Fort Mills, Philippines Islands." Sometime after Sheridan's father (Carroll Rodney Pugh, Sr.) passed away, she set out to learn what she could about his biological father, Harry V. Martin. Her investigations were mainly in two areas: 1) She contacted the National Archives to learn what she could about Harry V. Martin from the existing military records, and 2) She had her half-brother, Howard Alan Pugh, a biological son of Carroll, Sr. and Rosemary Pater, submit his DNA to several sites.
I became involved when Sheridan received the results from Howard Pugh's Y-DNA test from the company, Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). I had previously had my Y-DNA analyzed by FTDNA. The results that Sheridan received showed that both Howard and I have almost identical Y-DNA. Sheridan contacted me wanting to know how Howard and I were related.
I suggested to Sheridan that she have Howard's autosomal DNA tested by Ancestry.com. That test revealed a number of things. but, most importantly, it revealed that Howard was a close relative of Aubrey Bruce Davault. Based on the amounts of shared DNA and the approximate birthdate of Harry V. Martin, I deduced that Harry V. Martin was a biological son of William Robert Davault (1862 - 1925).
I first assumed that Harry V. Martin was the issue of an out-of-wedlock relationship, possibly after Martha Victoria (Cox) Davault passed away. However, further analysis of Howard Pugh's Ancestry.com DNA matches showed that Howard was biologically related to a number of people that were descendants of Martha Victoria Cox's parents. These people, all biologically related to Howard Pugh, appeared to have no Davault DNA. Based on the amounts of shared DNA I was led to the conclusion that Harry V. Martin was a son of both William Robert Davault and Martha Victoria Cox. I surmised that Harry may have been adopted out due to Victoria's very ill health.( She died of tuberculosis not long after Harry V. Martin was born.)
Further review of Howard Pugh's Ancestry.com DNA Match List showed several more people that biologically are descendants of William Robert Davault but that had not previously been identified by traditional genealogical research methods. These people include Meg Stengele, half sisters Sue Hoyt and Pat Hee, Craig Erickson and Chris Dance.
For more on this investigation see the notes sections for Maude Amy Charles, Harry V. Martin, Helen Lowe, Zenoba Jettie Thomlinson and Sandra Tollefsrud."

Obituary -- The Telephone, Cuba, Crawford County, Missouri; Friday, September 21, 1900:
DAVAULT, SAMUEL
A Popular Young School Teacher Is Dead.
Samuel Davault departed this life September 9, 1900, being cut down in the prime of his life, being only 32 years of age. In this as in many other cases we see that death has no respect for persons. Those who are in the track of the destroyer must yield to his power, whether they be young or old. All men prepare for life but how few prepare for death. Mr. Davault never made any public profession of religion, but many times in conversation with the writer he has remarked I have great faith in God and His promises are sufficient. He was born in Maries county April 16, 1868, and was the second son of Jacob and Sarah Davault. He was one of the most prominent school teachers in Crawford county and had followed that profession for over ten years. At all times he was a man of kind heart and excellent judgment and loved by acquaintance, and the many expressions of sympathy on his untimely death warmly attests the strong friendships held by him in his life. About four weeks ago he fell down stairs, which caused malarial fever, followed by cancer of the spleen, which finally resulted in death. His death will be most widely felt as he was a most intelligent, useful and valuable citizen. With a mind perfectly clear and a faith admitting of no doubt, he peacefully fell asleep. To his widowed mother, brothers, and sisters we kindly say you are left to travel the balance of life's journey alone, but rest assured your parting will not be long. You shall meet again where there will be no more sad farewells and where all tears will be forever wiped away.-G. S. McIntosh.
