Freestone County, Texas Obits Fairfield Recorder Dec 3, 1897 Died on last Thursday, November 8, 1897 Marcus Andred Garvin; son of Mrs. Ida Garvin, died at its grandparents five miles northwest of Fairfield with congestion of the brain, aged 21 months ad 4 days. His remains were interred in the Woodland Cemetery the next evening, Bro. Jim McCormick officiating. If there is anything beside of the endless reach of eternity in which this writer's confidence is not limited it is the purity and innocence of childhood. No day will ever grow so long and no night so dark, that she will not feel like extending the hand of sympathy in hopes to his mother who stands by the grave where the dust of her infant sleeps. May its mother find her baby again where dimpled cheeks grow pale no more and the smile of childhood never dies.
