State Legislature in Franklin Co, Ozark, Arkansas

Census

• 1910 census Franklin County, Arkansas, family 183, dwelling 169 John D. Edgin, age 30, married 9 years, born

Arkansas, father born Tennessee, mother born Missouri, dry goods merchant.

• 1920 census of Franklin County, Arkansas, White Oak Township, page 19, family 239, dwelling 254, as John D.

Edgin, age 40, born Arkansas, both parents born Arkansas. He was a teacher at a High School. I believe the

birthplace of his mother is incorrect and that she was born in Missouri. In her record in the same household, Eliza

John David Edgin was the minister of the Nazarene Church in Ozark. He did many revivals in the area and that is probably why you see the little pump organ on the porch beside him. He was a prominent citizen in town and his son, John David Junior (J.D. Edgin) was the County Clerk of Franklin County for years.

Jane's birthplace is given as Missouri.
