    ALEXANDER GARRICK was born January 8th, 1844, in Delaware county, New York,

where he resided, enjoying all the advantages peculiar to country life, in that

old and well settled part of the country until he removed to the west in 1878.



    In December, 1867, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Cowen and to them have

been born five children, viz: James C., Isabella C., William R., Alex A., and

Georgia May, who died when four years of age. The others are all valued citizens

of South Dakota. William R. is now deputy sheriff of Faulk county and Alex A.

cashier of the Security State Bank of Faulkton.



    In the spring of 1883 Mr. Garrick came to Faulk county and located near

Cresbard. Fifteen years ago he bought and moved onto the E. C. Sage farm one

mile from Faulkton. This farm was bought for $1,400 and a few days ago sold for

$6,400, a clear profit of $5,000. For the last five years Mr. Garrick has

resided in the city of Faulkton. He has been elected to the board of county

commissioners several times. He has taken a great interest in public affairs and

at the age of 64 is a well preserved, active citizen. Only one mile from town

Mr. Garrick owns another quarter section of land.



    On January 8th, 1909, his life partner, the mother of his children, after

several months of lingering sickness, passed to the great beyond, loved and

respected by her family and her numerous friends.
