(MIKE), 74, born June 2, 1920, husband of Elaine, father of Bruce, Gordon and Donald Garlock, Kay Barcroft and Karen Morse, brother of Doris and Harlan, son of Ira and Ruth (Powell) Garlock. He farmed at Carson City, was a beloved teacher at Lakewood, past president of the Lake Odessa Library Board, member of Grand Valley Rock and Mineral Society, a dedicated founding member of Lake Odessa Historical Society and a long-time member of Sebewa Center Association. His mother was a daughter of Horace Powell, brother of Stanley’s father, Herbert, and son of Joseph Priestley Powell, who settled on Powell Hwy., Ronald Township, in 1845. Joseph turned down a swampy farm that became the “Loop” in Chicago, in order to purchase a well-drained quarter-section in Ronald Township, and we are all the richer for it.
