County, Illinois, near Cherry Grove, March 16, 1859, the son of J. F.
and Mary (Curry) Garner; the former was born in Jackson County,
Illinois, and was the son of Frank Garner, one of the first settlers
of Cherry Grove, Illinois; the latter was born in Missouri, but was
reared in Grant County, Wisconsin, near White Oak Springs.  They reared
