Death of Dr. J. Ross Garman

At the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Garman (near North Barnesboro) the 
immortal spirit of J. Ross Garman passed from time into eternity.  Dr. Garman was a 
young man, being only 23 years, 4 months and 23 days of age and until overtaken by 
his last illness had every reason to look forward to a bright and successful future.

His early life was spent about Garman's Mills where he attended and graduated from the 
public schools. He then became a pupil of the Indiana State Normal after which he 
taught school in Susquehanna township. After deciding to take up as his life work in the 
profession of dentistry, he entered in 1901 the W. U. P. Dental College from which 
institution he graduated with honor April 29th, 1904.  After thoughtful consideration he 
decided to locate on Frankstown avenue, E. E. Pittsburg, where by his skill as a dentist 
and gentlemanly bearing he soon established a fine practice.

On February 28th he was compelled to return home, owing to an attack of typhoid 
fever, which developed into the most virulent type.  Although everything in medical skill 
was resorted to and every loving attention lavished upon him, he was forced to give up 
his brave battle against the angel of death and on Saturday, March 31st, surrounded by 
his loved ones, calmly bade farewell and peacefully passed to that other shore, where 
we hope and believe he was received and welcomed by the host of redeemed ones.

Surviving him are his parents, five sisters and three brothers.  To these stricken ones we 
extend our sincere sympathy and in their hour of trial and sorrow would direct them to 
Him, who alone can comfort the broken in heart and give the "oil of joy for mourning." 

Many beautiful floral tributes were sent by friends and relatives, among them being one 
from Pittsburg and a broken circle from Brushton Protected Home Circle, of which he 
was a member.  Mr. R. A. Crawford of Homewood, a member of Circle No. 389, was 
present at the funeral.  The deceased was also a member of Delta Sigma Fraternity.  A 
prayer service was held Sunday afternoon at his home by Rev. Hugh S. Shaw of the 
Presbyterian church.  The funeral which was largely attended took place Tuesday 
afternoon, services being held in [word faded] church, Rev. H. S. Shaw of Barnesboro 
and Rev. William Marshall of Spangler, officiating.  The interment took place in the 
[word faded] cemetery.

The pall bearers who had been intimate friends with Dr. Garman were: Dr. C. E. Creery 
of Ebensburg; Dr. M. M. [name faded] of Spangler; M. A. McAnulty of Pittsburg; R. E. 
Dunegan of Decker's Point; J. O. [name faded] and B. N. Beringer of [name faded].
