A death mask was made of Jefferson Davis before his first funeral in New
Orleans in 1893 (his body was later moved to Richmond, VA).  It is in
the collection of his last home, Beauvoir, in Biloxi Mississippi, along
with two positive casts.

The address is:
        Beauvoir
        2244 Beach Blvd
        Biloxi, MS 39531

        Phone 228-388-9074

The Collections Manager is Michael Wright.

Hope this helps.
