MRS. LIZA GARVIN
Liza Craig was born in Chariton county, Missouri, August 18, 1851. She was united in marriage to William Joshua Garvin, April 19, 1868, and died October 5, at 12:20 a.m., 1908. To this union seven children were born all of whom survive her except one who died in infancy. The living ones are William Shipman, Cyrus David, Garrett Dye, James Wesley, Annie Liza and Benjamin Coywood. She united with the M. E. Church, South in July 1869.
Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 6, by Elder Ramsey, of the M. E. church, formerly of Triplett, Mo., assisted by C. M. Lewellen, of Brunswick, at the home of Garrett Dye where she spent the last year of her life.
Among the white shafts of beautiful Elliott Grove cemetery, in the little city beside the placid river, they have laid the shard that held the tranquil soul of Liza Garvin, and have gone away to let nature spread her carpet of green over the scar made by the descent of her body into the ground. No mystery now, no travail no struggle with the "whence and where." She has crossed the bar and met her pilot face to face. Close by is the pulseless dust of many of Brunswick's illustrious dead. What neighbors are there that lie under spell in the kingdom of sleep in Elliott Grove cemetery; man after man abides his destined hour and, stripped of his pomp and power, joins the silent caravan. Aye, but the earth is rotten with a high hope and the eternal edict goes on and on; life beats itself on fragil troubled wing to death; generations wither to the sod and cities sink to dust. An why? For what? And no man knows.
Liza Garvin was the highest type of domestic womanhood. As a wife she was the peer of any, as a mother she was unsurpassed--kind, affectionate and always considerate of those about her; and through her five years of suffering she was never known to murmur. To know her was to love her and be her friend, and the long procession that followed her to the grave bore testimony to the esteem in which she was held.
The active pallbearers were: Wilson Elliott, Thomas Sublette, Bruce Knight, Will Barnes, James Waller, and Wm. Boddy.
Honorary pallbearers were: James Agee, C. E. Lea, Jerome Dearing; Ed Knight, John Knight, John Reichert; George Rucker, John Adams and William Borum.
