Hanover lost another prominent young man this morning when Mark Garrett, son of 
Mr. and Mrs. John Garrett, 249 Baltimore street, died at 2:30 o'clock.  His 
death was due to double pneumonia which followed an attack of influenza.  He was 
sick only two weeks.  He was aged 23 years, two months and six days.  He was 
born in West Manheim township where he received his early education in the
public schools of that district.  He later took a course in the York School of
Business, from which institution he graduated seven years ago.  He then accepted 
an office position with the Hopkins Manufacturing Company.  His careful 
attention to his duties won him promotions and at the time of his death he was 
chief clerk.  Mr. Garrett was active in the affairs of young men's organizations 
in Hanover and he gained a wide circle of friends who mourn his death.  He was a 
charter member of the Revonah club and last summer was manager of its baseball 
team.  He was an active member of Trinity Reformed church and Sunday school and 
of the Ushers' league of the congregation.  He was also affiliated with the 
Hanover lodge, I. O. O. F., and the Knights of Pythias.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Garrett, one sister, Mrs. Paul
Henry, Poplar street, and four brothers, Claude, Detroit, Mich.; Addison,
Hagerstown, Md.; Bernard, West Manheim township, and Earle, at home.  Funeral
services will be conducted next Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the house.  
The Rev. Dr. Marsby J. Roth, pastor of Trinity Reformed church, will officiate.  
Burial will be made in Mount Olivet cemetery.
