John Edgar Higgerson

Though younger family members thought when referring to "Uncle Eddie" that his name was Edward, but it was Edgar, which my grandfather, Harry Clifton Higgerson, told me. "Uncleddy" as they called him, never married, and several family members resided with him at various times. He ran a store at Higgerson Landing on the Mississippi River in New Madrid County, Missouri, and I saw his business records/ledger, which are in the possession of Mary Alice (Henry) Higgerson, wife of the late Elzie Mack Higgerson on Kingshighway, New Madrid, MO.
