The Cherokee Advance 6 Feb 1885  p 3
Death of James M. (sic) Garrison
Mr. James B.(sic) Garrison, telegraph operator at Cartersville, died at the
residence of his brother, on Erwin street last Sunday morning at seven o'clock.
 Mr. Garrison was well and favorably known in our city, having been a resident
of Cartersville for about thirteen years.  He was an honest, straightforward,
christian gentleman and made friends easily and rapidly.  His death was that of
a christian.  For about one month he has been sick, and had grown emaciated and
weak.  His father was by his bed side on Saturday night when Jim asked for his
shoulders to be raised, as his breath was coming short.  His father anticipating
that death was growing on him, asked him if he felt like he was willing to die.
 The answer came low but clear and distinct. 'It is alright; it is all right,'
and there as the first gray dawn glimmered in the east, he breathed his last,
with a giant smile resting on his thin face, and his hands folded peacefully
over his bosom. That was the death of a good man.---Cartersville American.

Mr. Garrison was a son of Rev. N. J. Garrison of this county, and if we are not
mistaken was born in Canton.  At any rate he was well known here, enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of every one, and was loved by all.  He has a number of
relatives and friends in town and the county, and his death brings sadness to
their hearts.  To his parents, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends we
tender our sincere sympathy in this dark hour of bereavement.
