I have an old obit for R W GARRETT and brother ELISHA both dying days
apart in 1927.
RICHARD W GARRETT was 65
ELISHA A GARRETT was 73
Elisha had returned to Spencer County from Paoli KS where he lived
abt 40 yrs to be at the bedside of ill brother RICHARD and died
suddenly.
Elisha was returned to KS for burial but RICHARD was buried at Sunset
HILL,
The brothers were survived by another brother GEORGE GARRETT of
Spencer county.
==========

1867
LIZZIE BORN JUNE 1873
WILLIS A SEPT 1894

he gave born IN his father IN his mother OH
The 1867 birthyr fits in line with the JAMES GARRETT who aged 13 in
1880 Spencer Co IN census,at that time he was living with JAMES &
JULIA CAIN.
The CAIN'S were born in OHIO.

This JAMES was also in 1870 Spencer County and had no son named JAMES

Hello,
Still looking for the parents of my ggrandfather James Garrett. I
have a birthdate
of the 15 March 1863 but am not sure that is
correct. He died 17 Feb 1926 in Hammond, IN and is buried in Sunset
Hill Cemetery in Rockport, IN. along with his wife Lizzie Carter, dau
of Thomas Carter & Stacy Barker. He is supposed to have had a
brother Robert and a sister Victoria and their father is supposedly
James but I have not been able to find anything on them.
Children of James & Lizzie:
1. Willis GARRETT was born on 9 Sep 1894. He married Mollie Osborn
21 Oct 1916.
He may have died Apr 1970.
2. Jesse GARRETT was born on 20 Sep 1898 at Spencer County, IN.
Jesse has two
sons. He died Jul 1980 in KY. and is buried in Sunset
Hill Cemetery.
3. Iva Mae GARRETT was born the 7 Dec 1900 in Spencer County,
Indiana. She has
two children. Iva died in 1963 at Eustis, Lake
County, FL and is buried in Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens,
Schererville, IN.
4. Lula Garrett was born the 7 May 1909 and died 12 Dec 1984. She
married a
Hoosier and has 7 children.
5. Grace GARRETT....Am not sure about her. She was born circa 1905
in IN and is
listed as a sister in Willis' household on the 1920
Census.
If anyone knows of or is researching this family I would really
like to make
contact.
Happy Hunting,
Pam Belden
