Anniston Star
Many hearts were saddened when news came that Mrs. John M. Garrett had passed 
away at her home in Memphis Tenn., Wednesday night at 10 o'clock. Although 
Lillian, as she was familiarly called, had been in declining health for the past 
few months, her death was a real shock to the people of this and surrounding 
communities, and her many friends, who had known and loved her from childhood. 
She was reared here, a devout Christian, noted for her high ideals always 
progressive, and her influence for good will be sorely missed by her many 
friends and loved ones. Only a few short months ago she was a teacher here, and 
she always discharged her duties in the schoolroom and elsewhere in such a way 
as to reflect credit upon herself and her community. The many beautiful flowers 
attested the high esteem in which she was held. She is survived by her husband. 
John M. Garrett, daughter and son, Margaret Anne and John M., Jr., and one 
little grandson of Memphis, Tenn.; four sisters, Mrs. Pat Patterson of Anniston, 
Mrs. Cleo Graben of Lineville. Mrs. Thora Sewell of Delta and Miss Mildred 
Willingham of Washington, D. C. Her funeral was conducted at the Delta Baptist 
Church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the Rev. D. W. Burson, assisted by the 
Rev, W. E. Wellborn and the Rev. B. W. Mathews. Col. Cleveland Dempsey of 
Ashland, a lifelong friend of the family, spoke glowing words of tribute to the 
life of the deceased. She was laid to rest in Delta Cemetery, Jones of Anniston 
directing. Pallbearers were: Ross Graben, Robert A. Patterson, James H. Garrett, 
Schley, S. J., and Stribling McCollough. Relatives attending the funeral were: 
Cadet Robert A. Patterson, of Waco, Texas; James H., Pamela and Martha Garrett
