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
