E. S. GARNER, M.D.
Contributed by Darrell Garner (LaCrosse sleuth!), from Richland County History Book Richland Center, WI.
"E. S. Garner, M. D., is a son of Edom and Rebecca Langley Garner. He was born July 30, 1854, and came with his parents to Richland County in 1864. The family settled near Port Andrew, where the subject of this sketch worked upon the farm and attended the district schools. In the fall of 1878 he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Keokuk, Iowa, and graduated in the spring of 1881. The July following he located at Boaz, and commenced the practice of his profession. He was married Feb. 21, 1877, to Carrie Kyle, and they have three children--Howard L., Albert C., and Carrie L. Dr. Garner is a member of the Southwestern Medical Association."


Is this Edom in 1840? He was enumerated next to a Joel Ratliff in Madison Co, IN- an older Amos Ratliff on the same page.
Edin Garner. 1 male child under 5, 1 male age 20-30. 1 female under 5, 1f age 20-30.

Biography of Howard Co, Indiana, notes that Edom owned 160 acres in Honey Creek Township in 1845. He was a pioneer citizen arriving about 1843 - he served as one of four judges. Edom Garner was Treasuer of the IOOF Lodge, #133 in Kokomo, 1853. He built one of the first brick houses about 1858.

I cannot find the family in 1850 or 1860.
The worst transcription in history - in 1850, Edom was indexed as "Edem Gamers" - it is easily readable when you know the names...
