hope for. The greatest sorrow a, moth
er can endure WAS the sudden death
of her son, Edgar, who died in far away
lands among strangers, but with the
thought of loving and tender mother
always near and dear. Mrs. Garrison
took much pride in her home, ana when
her husband provided her with a new
and modern HON ?, she was eager in the
entertainment of her friends and club
members.
She was a member of the ord,r of
the Eastern Star and of the Won lan's
club. and when her health perm lifted
took an active part in the doin: IS of
these organizatiOns;4in the social vents
no gathering was quite complete with
out the presence of Mrs. Garrison /, this
being particularly true in the earlier
day. Every call for charity foun Mrs.
Garrison willing and cheerful giver,
and many there are in DenisOn today
who will bear testimony to her goodness
of heart and to her thoughtf,uness of
those in need.
Deceased leaves her hush; ind, her
daughter and two sors and ne sister
to mourn her loss. Her sister, Mrs.
Belle Rogers, living at Newton, was i'll
at the time and was unable TO attend
the funeral. Her two grant lchildren,
DIR. Francis B. Garrison, of 1Oakdale.
Neb., and Raymond d. Garrison, of
Council Bluffs, were at the funeral.
The Review joins with the many
friends of the Garrison family in ex
tending coincidence to the beres we'd ones
in this their great hour of sorrow.

tended the games held in this city with
full confidence that they would see a
game worthy of the mettle of the boys
and in every game have been repaid
for going by seeing the home boys come

ability to make this good record has
been acquired through faithful training
