Garrett L. Wesley
   Mr Garrett L. Wesley was born Jan 23rd 1822, and died
June 9th 1892. He moved from Georgia some ten years ago
and bought the farm upon which he died. Seven children are
located near where he died. He left five children in Georgia,
four of whom are living. Father Wesley was confined to his
bed in February and gradualy faded away till his death on
June 9th. He sufferred excruciating pains at time, but was
always submissive to his masters will. A few days before
his death he called around him his children and grand
children and gave them all a parting blessing. He told his
Pastor and children and friends that he was prepared for
death and especially requested that his wife and children
grieve not after him, but for all to live and act as to 
be able to meet him in Heaven. He was a kind father, a loving
devoted husband, a true friend, a good citizen, a devoted
and consistent member of the M. E. Church South.
May we all live as he requested, and meet him in the Mansion
above.
Idaho, Ala. June 15th 1892
                      A. Friend.
