 The subject of this sketel, was iuslee, an Afkausas nl4ii. 1 haYeoften remark cd that. the best citizens, as \ rule, Ark lansas has are those born and raised here !

Bnt It takes A man uf 1p lrightness, . man Of integrity to live ! long lifetime in the satne community | and then die loved and respected by alI II. M. Garden was born in Ycli coun. 1 fy, Ark, Feb 26, lS3o; was born in thal partjof the county known as Gardens Bot. tom. the bottom taking it's name from Ihis father who moved to this country I from southeast Missouri about 1873 He was married to Miss
 l in 1850, who seven years later died. He was married again in 1860 to Miss Lizzie Potts, who survives him. Sister Garden l is also an old citizen of Arkansas, belong ling to the old Potts family of this coun- |fy, which Is we'll and favorably known Ito all. During the late civil war Brother Garden took side with his own people, the south. He and Wm. keeton of Car den's Bottom got mp Company K. 3d Arkansas Cavalry, of which Nm. kee- ton was Captain, and Bro. Garden first lieutenant. At the battle of Corinth in 1862 Capt. keeton received bis death wound, and Br0tbess sssarden WAS promot- cd to the Captaincy, and later on he was still further promoted to the rank of Major. He is said t0 have been faithful and true, brave soldier. Most of his soldier life was spent east of the Missis- sippi in the southern states.
 Before the war Maj. Garden was in the mercantile business at Gshla Rock. In 1883 he moved with his family to Rus |sellville and farmed for while near town; afterwards he went into business again. We only have to state to show that he was careful and cautious man, that be made no failures in business. While he did not make as much money as some men he prospered and always had plenty for himself and family, and to spare to his friends.
 He was ever ready to divide with his friends.
 Tn 1888 Maj. Garden moved to Eureka Springs, Ark, where he lived until he died March 4, 1893, or we might say from here to Heaven.
 He joined the church in 1885 and was a faithful and devoted member until his death. He was a member of the NJ. E. church, south. He also joined the ma sons when young man, and renamed an honored member of the order un- til his death. His intimate and lifelong friends say that he was good mason. This being the case he was always d moral man. For in the interest of Ma sorry I will say Masonry when lived up to is morality in earnest, and on earth, while the Christian religion or Christianity is Salvation forever.
 Mai Garden was the father of five children. Three by his first wife and two by his second. One of his first child dren died, two are living Mrs. Macha Allen of Yell county and W. II. Garden of Russellville. His two children by his last wife are living Mrs. Sallie Bowler of RussellyiIle and Mrs. Annie White head of Eureka Springs. His daughters all married well and are doing we'll w. H. Garden is one of our leading mer- chants.
 To the grief-stricken wife and children we would say, cheer up. Your husband and father is not dead. He has only. gone home. Cheer up, and send to him day by day on the spirits wings the mes sages q am coming too.' Coming home to husband, coming home to father.
 Bro Scott, q lifelong friend of Broth CT Garden, can tell the balance.

 I have known H. M. Garden since 1885 t.I | ping at his fathers house, purchasing New Orleans. He was then five or six Years old, sprightly, interesting and noble boy, who took great delight in witnessing the collection of the large and wild cattle I was purchasing. Carr den's Bottom (deriviDg it's name from his father and unele) was then an im- mense canebrake, with only one or two other settlers in it, and was alive with immense herds of cattle belonging to them. This locality was then a part of Pope county but is now within the boun- daries of Yell.
 In all the walks of life, with the long and intimate friendship have enjoyed with II. NJ. Garden from youth to man hood, and from monhood to his old age
 
 has borne the reputation of an honorable and high-ninded citizen, courteous and hospitable, kind md generous in his na- ture almost to fault. His house and heart were ever open wide to his friends and those who needed aid or assistance. Unpretentious in department and de- meanor, he elicited the Friendship and esteem of all with whom he associated k IL. rJ....s i~{. f..tl. unfaltering and devoted friend and chris tian, and Gods noblest work, "an honest man." he has gone the way of all the earth to ssthat bourne from whence no traveller returns.n May his spirit rest where trials and troubles, sorrow, sick ness and pain will neyermore annoy and afiiict him,
 A loving wife, son, daughters and I host of dear friends miss him and great ly deplore his loss. Peace to his ashes.
