Last Saturday, at his home near Millerton, John Garland, one of the leading and best known Choctaws in the country, died of pneumonia, after an illness of only a few days.
John Garland was a good man, even in his younger days when inclined to wildness. A few years ago he was converted and ever after led an exemplary, consistent christian life, preaching the gospel exactly as he saw and believed it.
He died a faithful christian soldier beloved by all, leaving a small family and a host of friends to mourn their loss.
He was buried at 2 p. m. Sunday afternoon in the family burying ground near his old home under the auspices and ceremonies of the Masonic fraternity.
