====Fletcher Davis====
Fletcher Davis of [[Athens, Texas]] claimed to have invented the hamburger. According to oral histories, in the 1880s, he opened a lunch counter in Athens and served a 'burger' of fried ground beef patties with mustard and Bermuda onion between two slices of bread, with a pickle on the side.<ref name="Origin2"/> The story is that in 1904, Davis and his wife Ciddy ran a sandwich stand at the St. Louis World's Fair.<ref name="Origin2"/> Historian Frank X. Tolbert noted that Athens resident Clint Murchison said his grandfather dated the hamburger to the 1880s with Fletcher "Old Dave" Davis.<ref name=Harmon>John E.
