William Oscar Garrison was born March 15, 1852, in Rome, Ga. He died in the home of his son in Carrizozo, May 5, 1933. Mr. Garrison was married to Miss Neal Beall Braswell, April 21, 1886, in Dallas. To this union 6 children were born, three of whom survive their father, namely: Verno[sic] Alfred, Dallas, Carl Oscar, Carrizozo, Mrs. H. C. Enas, Fort Worth.
Mr. and Mrs. Garrison moved from Texas to Arizona in 1915 and came here in 1932.
Mr. Garrison was a devout member of the Methodist Church having joined in Texas many years ago. He was also a member of the Masonic order. Mr. Garrison was a quiet, unassuming man of culture, refinement and sterling qualities and was deeply interested in the well-being of his fellow man. A devoted husband and father and kindly friend and neighbor has left us. After brief funeral services conducted by Rev. Lawson and under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge, May 6, the remains were taken to Texas for interment.
Editor's Note--To the writer, Mr. Garrison was more than a friend, in whom one could place the utmost of implicit confidence. In his daily walks of life, a gentleman in every sense of the word; a Christian in his acts of kindness and a Mason, who balanced with the principles for which the order stands, will be sadly missed from its communications, in which he always held an honored seat. To his family, the sympathy of our community is tendered. (Obituary of William Oscar Garrison, date and newspaper unknown.)
