J.C. Hemphill, Editor:

Eidson, John Daniel, farmer and merchant, was born in Edgefield, South Carolina, December 3 1845. His parents were James Russell and Caroline (Bouknight) Eidson. His father was highly esteemed for kindness and liberality and served his community as trial justice, school trustee, and captain of a company of militia.

In early life John Eidson was strong and well, His home was in the country, and, while he liked his books, he was fond of horses and of outdoor life. After he became large enough to help on the farm he had regular, but not excessive, tasks to perform. He attended the schools near his home until he was fifteen years of age, when the War between the States broke out and he entered the Confederate States army, in which he served for three years.
Returning from the war, he had no opportunity to continue his education, but commenced work as a farmer under the guidance of his father. In 1868 he taught school but a year later he gave up his position and became a merchant. In connection with the business of the store he also carried on the work of farming, and he has been continuously engaged in these lines until the present time. Some years ago he added brokerage to his other interests, and it
has grown to considerable importance. He owns and controls two four-gin outfits, the Munger & Smith systems (up-to-date in every respect); one in the town of Johnston, and the other about one mile east of that place. He is also proprietor of the Johnston Roller Flour mills, located in the town of Johnston, and one of the largest flour mill properties in the state. His natural ability, together with close application to business and strictly honest dealing, has brought him great success and given him an enviable reputation. In January, 1907, he was elected president of the Bank of Johnston, a strong financial institution.

He has been warden and intendant of his home town (Johnston), and president of the Johnston Educational Joint Stock company. He is a member of the Masonic order, a past dictator in the Knights of Honor, and a past chancellor commander in the Knights of
Pythias. In politics he has not been an active worker, and has never held or sought public office, but he votes regularly with the Democratic party. His religious connection is with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in which he is an active and efficient worker, and has held the offices of steward and district steward.

In estimating the relative strength of various influences which have been helpful in his efforts to win success, he places contact with men in active life first of all. As in boyhood days, he still enjoys getting out of doors, and has a marked taste for fine horses, of which he keeps several at his farm. For recreation, he chooses traveling, and by this means he has become acquainted with a large section of the country.

Mr. Eidson is interested in all the great movements of the day, and especially those which tend to the betterment of the conditions under which we live. He believes that righteousness should be both preached and practiced, and in response to a request that
he would make some suggestions regarding the habits, methods, and principles which in his opinion will help the youthful readers of his biography to attain success, he says: "Young men should strive to be independent by seeking positions of usefulness, honestly performing duty, never shirking, and never using intoxicating liQuors or tobacco in any form."

On December 18, 1873, Mr. Eidson was married to Miss Anna Herbert. Of their four children, three are living in 1907,

The postoffice address is Johnston, Edgefield county, South Carolina.

John married Anna C. Herbert on 18 Dec 1873. Anna was born on 15 Feb 1852 in Newberry County, South Carolina. She died on 11 Nov 1903 in Johnston, Edgefield County, South Carolinav. She was buried in Mt. of Olives Cemetery, Edgefield County, South Carolina.
