CHARLES A. GARRISON, veterinary surgeon, Kent, was born in Stowe Township,
Summit Co., Ohio, August 18, 1842; son of James and Hannah (Walker)
Garrison, who settled in Stowe Township about 1828-30, where they cleared
and improved a couple of farms.  They had six children:  William, who died
in the service of the Union, during the late war of the Rebellion; Charles
A.; Alice, wife of William Grubb; Fannie, wife of Henry Minnich; Maxwell;
and Edward (deceased).  The paternal grandfather of our subject was Joseph
Garrison, a native of Pennsylvania, and an early settler of Deerfield
Township, this county.  His maternal grandfather, William Walker, a native
of Virginia, was one of the first settlers of Stowe Township.  Our subject
was reared in his native township, and educated in the Kent High School, and
at Twinsburg Institute.  In 1875 he went to Seville, Ohio, and studied
veterinary surgery with Dr. Miller, of that place, with whom he remained
three years, and in 1878 entered the Ontario Veterinary College, Toronto,
Canada, where he took a two-years’ course in instruction.  In 1880 he
commenced the practice of his profession in Kent, where he has done a
successful business to the present time.  He was married  August 18, 1864,
to Mattie, daughter of William and Margaret Reese, of Franklin Township,
this county, by whom he has three children living:  Frank, Max and Minnie.
Mr. Garrison and wife are members of the Disciples Church.  In politics he
