JOHN HENDERSON GARNSEY. John H. Garnsey, son of Judge Charles B. Garnsey, was 
born in Joliet, August 15, 1868, and was largely educated by private tutors. 
His alma mater is the Northwestern University of Chicago and on completing the 
law course he was graduated with the class of 1890. Eor six years thereafter 
he devoted his time and energies to the newspaper business, spending most of 
that period in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and Atlanta, Georgia. Returning to 
Joliet in 1896, he entered upon the practice of law and is now attorney and 
general counsel for the Bates Machine Company and local counsel for the 
Illinois Steel Company, in addition to which he has a large general practice. 
Mr. Garnsey is a valued and popular representative of various social and 
fraternal organizations. He belongs to the Hamilton Club of Chicago, the 
Commercial Club of Joliet, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Society of 
the War of 1812, the Army of the Cumberland Society and the Order of the White 
Cross, of which he was the first supreme commander. In religious faith he is 
an Episcopalian, while it is a well known fact that his political views are in 
accord with the principles of the republican party. On the 28th of December, 
1897, Mr. Garnsey was united in marriage to Miss Cornelia Mason, a daughter of 
T. A. Mason, and they now have one child, Charles Truman Garnsey, born October 
5, 1898.
