WEST FORK — Edwin Leo Logsdon, age 97, passed away at his home Wednesday, April 1, 2020. He was born March 31, 1923, in Beebe, Ark., to Vivien and Nancy (McCord) Logsdon.
He was preceded in death by his four brothers, two sisters and daughter Beth Teague.
Edwin was the Arkansas marble champion at 13 and beat the world champion back in the 1930s. During high school, he made all state pitcher for baseball and became the state baseball champion.
After graduating from Des Arc High School, Edwin went on to take his teaching certificate exam and helped in filling the need for teachers during WWII from 1942-47. Following his teaching career, he became a contractor and owned his own business for more than 50 years.
His favorite pastimes included gardening, fishing and, most of all, hunting. He was often attending auctions on the weekends to find tools he could add to his collection. He was not only a devoted member of Zinnamon Church in West Fork, but he also held the position of elder.
He is survived by his loving wife of 73 years, Faye (Willis) Logsdon of the home; his children, Tommy Logsdon and wife Betty of Springdale, Karen Daugherity of West Fork and Jim Logsdon and wife Tina of Springdale; brother Billy Logsdon of California; grandchildren Sarah Logsdon, Rebecca Muenich and husband Mike, Anthony Daugherity, Emily Nichols and husband Kody, Amy Harming and husband Corbin and Chris Teague and Michael Teague; eight great-grandchildren; and son-in-law Leonard Teague.
A private graveside service will be held at Zinnamon Cemetery in West Fork. A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be mailed to Zinnamon Church, 12151 Zinnamon Church Road, West Fork, Ark., 72774, or Washington Regional Hospice at www.wregionalhospice.com/.
