Comment: I did a newspaper search and failed to find anything. Also three sources for the 1918 election for the 1919 session do not list him: 1, 2 and 3. Note from the source "The African American Electorate: A Statistical History" it says his first election year, but nothing in the years served so maybe it's just saying they stood but were not elected? The only newspaper source I found for that was this KylieTastic (talk) 11:45, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:KylieTastic, I found a Henry Higgins who died in 1919. The statistics book seems to be officeholders not people who stood for election? Maybe User:S0091 can help sus out the history? FloridaArmy (talk) 12:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- FloridaArmy there was a Henry Higgins who died in 1918 in the papers this, and a Mrs Henry Higgins mentioned in 1918, but for "Henry Higgins" in 1919 in Ohio the only hit I get is a soldier getting discharge papers. KylieTastic (talk) 13:20, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
