I have all the information for Jessie. John left on a train in 1921 maybe toward Mississippi

Elvandra...I've tried to post before, but I don't see it. Blogs just confuse me....grin. Thanks for your research. I do have his WWI Draft Card information. Thanks so much for your help. My Grandfather left when Mom was 6 months old. She's now 89. No trail of him sense. I find lots of John Hardens, but no way to know if it's the right one.

Here is the World War I Draft Record of John William Harden. I am still looking for anything on his parents or the parents of Jessie. I did not see a listing for him in 1930, do you know when he left the family by train?

I looked and had hard time finding anything on him I did find the 1920 Census record you mentioned and transcribed it:
