FUNERAL HELD TODAY FOR JOSEPH GARRETT
The funeral for Joseph D. Garrett who died yesterday morning at his home in Jamestown, was conducted this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Methodist Episcopal church there by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Jones, assisted by Rev. W. A. Lambeth, of Wesley Memorial church, this city.
A large number of friends of Mr. Garrett attended the funeral and there were many beautiful floral offerings. Members of Ragsdale council of Junior Order United American mechanics acted as pall bearers and the interment was made in Oakwood cemetery here.
Beautiful talks were made by the officiating minister who paid tribute to the noble character of Mr. Garrett.
"In the Hour of Trial," and "Sometime We'll Understand" were the hymns, while a quartet from Wesley Memorial church sang, "Sometime, Somewhere."
IN MEMORIAM
The village and community of Jamestown on November 30th, 1921, lost, in the death of Joseph D. Garrett, one of its best citizens. Truly a good man has been removed from the church and community, but his influence will still live with those who knew him.
He left a devoted a wife, five sons, one daughter and eight grandchildren, who, together with a host of friends mourn his loss.
He had been a member of the Jamestown Methodist church for many years, and attended faithfully when opportunity and health would permit. He always took a keen interest in his Sunday school class, and his answers and talks on the lesson showed that he was not a stranger to God's word.
The greater part of his life of sixty-five years was spent in the mercantile business. The writer has known him very intimately for about 40 years, and never knew a more honest and accurate man in his dealings. In all those years I never knew him to make the mistake of even a penny his change or accounts. His love for honesty and fair dealing was far greater than his desire for financial gain.
May his honest, faithful, Christian life be an inspiration to his family and his many friends to life closer to the Savior, and follow him to the home of the redeemed.
