Son of William Garrison and Catherine Hollow.
According to his obituary in the Morganton News Herald, Mr. Garrison was a well-known, active member of the Glen Alpine community. He had just been elected to the board of county commissioners and was an active member of the Republican party. He worked at Pitts Lumber as an inspector.
He was married to Ida Agnes Summitt and they were the parents of seven sons: William Bruce, Oscar, Robert Lee, Lawrence Eugene, Thomas, Jones, Conley, and Preston.
The newspaper described his death as "(Mr. Garrison) was run down by a Southern Railway engine and crushed to death." Ironically, his body was brought to the neighboring town of Morganton on train No. 16 and prepared for burial.
In addition to his wife and children, he was survived by his brothers.
"He was large in size and big-hearted by nature. He was a splendid citizen."
