Here is an original rare book entitled Memoirs of John Edgar. You probably remember the name John Edgar from the recent Special Talk where the film shown in the talk favorablymentioned his booklet entitled Where Are The Dead.This sixty four page book was written by his Sister Minna Edgar and was printedby the Edgarfamily in Scotland. It is a stirring account of how John Edgar became a Witnessand the many things he did as a Witness. This appears to be an early printing of this booklet as I could not find a printing date on it and these is the number 21st thousand printed on the front cover.

You can read about Brother John Edgar in theLife Story of Brother Frederick W. Franz listed below:

1987 Watchtower 5/1 pp. 24-25 Looking Back Over 93 Years of Living

As told by Frederick W. Franz

Albert then sent me a booklet entitled Where Are the Dead? written by a Scottish doctor, John Edgar, a member of the Glasgow Congregation of the International Bible Students. At first, I laid the booklet aside. Then one evening, having a little time on my hands before going to choir practice, I began to read it. So interesting did I find it that I could not lay it down. I kept on reading it as I walked about a mile to the Presbyterian church. Since the church door was still locked, I sat on the cold stone steps and kept on reading. The organist came along and, noting how absorbed I was in what I was reading, said: “That must be something interesting.” I replied: “It sure is!”

Since I so enjoyed the new truths I was learning, the thought occurred to me to ask the preacher, Dr. Watson, what he thought of this booklet. So that very evening, I handed him the booklet and asked: “Dr. Watson, what do you know about this?”

He took the booklet, opened it up, and then sneered: “Oh, that must be some of that Russell stuff. What does he know about eschatology?” I was really taken aback by his contemptuous attitude. As I took the booklet back and turned away, I thought to myself: “I don’t care what he thinks about it. This is the TRUTH!”

Before long, on one of his visits back home, Albert brought me the first three volumes of Studies in the Scriptures, written by Charles Taze Russell. Albert also got me acquainted with the local congregation of Bible Students, which happened to meet right next door to the Presbyterian church. I was delighted with what I was learning and soon decided that the time had come for me to sever my connection with the Presbyterian Church.
