Another Old Timer Dead
Following close upon the death of John C. Steers, came that of another one of God's noblemen, that of Riley Garrett, one of the best known, and most highly respected residents of Central Wyoming.
Mr. Garrett died at his home on Lower North Fork at three o'clock Tuesday afternoon, being taken sick at an early hour that morning of neuralgia of the stomach. All was done for him that possibly could be, but the science of doctors could not prevail, and he was gathered to the home of his fathers.
The funeral took place on Thursday from the Methodist Episcopal church in Lander, and in honor to the deceased Mayor Johnson issued a proclamation requesting that all business houses remain closed during the hours from 1:30 to 3 p.m. The funeral was largely attended, not only by friends and neighbors of the deceased on North Fork but by the people from Lander and other portions of the county as well, all of whom were anxious to show their respect to the deceased.
Mr. Garrett was one of the pioneers of Fremont county, and left a substantial ranch on North Fork to show for his industry and integrity. He leaves a wife, son and other relatives to mourn his taking away. The memory of such men as Riley Garrett is all the monument necessary on this earth.
