Pioneer Citizen Passes Away

Another one of Taylor County’s landmarks passed away last Thursday afternoon in
the person of Enoch Garrett, a life-long resident of this county, a Confederate
Veteran, and for the past thirty-six years a member of the Freewill Baptist
Church and about eighty one years of age.  So, as to age, service as a soldier
in the Civil War as a man long identified with the cause of Christ, and
citizenship in this county, he may well be considered as one of the county’s
landmarks.

Mr. Garrett held up well, physically, he bore the weight of years with strength
and vigor and up until his last illness, which gradually sapped his remaining
vitality and freed the spirit which took its flight to God who gave it.

Mr. Garrett was an upright, honorable man who believed in treating his fellow
man with that courtesy, which he himself, under like circumstances would like to
be treated.  And would not knowingly do his neighbor injury.

He was the last one of the older Garrett family, but leaves a large number of
Garrett relatives, who are among the most prominent citizens of Taylor County.

Of his immediate family there is only one son, Mr. John Garrett and his widow by
his third marriage to mourn his departure.  His remains were interred in the
Bethel cemetery, last Saturday morning, the funeral service conducted by Rev.
J.T. Adams.
