The Atlanta Constitution 21 Aug 1883 
Death of Willie Garrard

Yesterday afternoon at six o'clock, after a long and painful sickness, William
Leonard Garrard, son of Hon. L. F. Garrard, speaker of the house of
representatives, peacefully passed away at the residence of Mr. H. Castleman, in
this city.  He was just thirteen years old, and was a youth of the loveliest
character.  The blossom of what promised to grow into a beautiful life was
blighted in his death.

His disease was complicated but finally took the form of inflammation of the
bowels.  A surgical operation was tried as a last hope but failed and the bright
youth died on the threshold of young manhood.  His remains were taken to
Columbus last night where they will be interred to day.   They were accompanied
by Mr. and Mrs. Garrard, Mr. W. U. Garrard of Savannah, Hon. W. A. Little of
Columbus and Col. J. T. Glenn of this city.  THE CONSTITUTION extends its
sincerest sympathies to the afflicted parents in this severe trial.
