Edgar McKoy Huggins, 82, of Fairmont, passed away Thursday, Jan. 22, 2015, in National Health Care in Garden City, S.C. Edgar was born Aug. 16, 1932, in Fork, S.C., to Mitchell McKoy and Flossie Jones Huggins. He attended Lake View schools and earned a B.S. degree from Clemson College. Upon earning his Master's of Agricultural Economics from Clemson, he became an agronomist for the university. He worked there until leaving to become vice president of Southern Agricultural Chemicals in Kingstree, S.C., a position he held until 1983. He became CEO of Mullins Truck & Tractor in Mullins, S.C. in 1973, taking over day-to-day operations of the farm implement business in 1983 and expanding it to include professional turf equipment. In his youth, Edgar helped on the family farm, was a member of Fork Baptist Church and was active in Boy Scouts and other organizations. Throughout his life, he fondly recounted a trip he earned to the National 4-H Congress in Chicago for winning a state achievement award. That experience, at age 14, had a lifelong effect on him. Edgar served in the Army and Army Reserve, resigning with a rank of staff sergeant (E-6). He was an honorary member of the S.C. Agricultural and Mechanical Society, and was active in the National Soybean Association, the South Carolina Seed Certification and Crop Improvement associations and in Lion's Club International.
