Taken from McDonald Pa Outlook 13 Nov 1919

Mrs. Dessie GARRISON of Highland avenue wife of Mr. A. M. 
GARRISON died at her home at noon, Thursday, November 6, 1919, after a long 
illness. Mrs. GARRISON was born October 21, 1887 and was a faithful member 
of the Methodist church of Noblestown. She was an active member of the 
Ladies' Aid society until her health did not permit. Last winter Mr. and 
Mrs. GARRISON and her daughter spent the winter in California, hoping the 
change in climate would benefit her health, but fearing the change did not 
give her the benefits. She longed to be back to her home, so they returned 
last April and from then on Mrs. GARRISON grew worse until death claimed 
her.
 
Mrs. GARRISON was a woman of very quiet disposition, but made 
friends where ever she was. She was a patient, loving mother and wife. The 
funeral was held at her home on Thursday evening, and on Friday morning the 
remains were taken to her home in Ohio, where services were held in the 
family church and interment was in the family lot of that place. Mrs. 
GARRISON leaves her husband and a daughter, Marjorie; also father, mother, 
sisters and brothers.
