About Roy Edgar Rodd
Harry’s father, Roy, was born on a farm in Williamson County in 1880 in the now defunct Western precinct that we know today as Blairsville Township in the northwest corner of the county. He spent most of his life living in Marion and worked as an insurance salesman. Just prior to Harry’s birth in 1912, the 1910 federal census located his parents, Roy and Lela, who already had three children, living in Marion at 1300 S. Liberty Street with her parents. The census listed her father and Roy both as self-employed merchants.
The family was not found in the 1920 census, but records indicate that Harry’s father had started working at selling insurance and since Harry was born in Perry County it is likely that the time around Harry’s birth was the one period when his parental family had to leave Marion for work. Nonetheless, Roy’s WWI draft registration located them back in Marion by 1918 and living in a home at 1009 S. Buchanan Street.
