PROF. G. M. GARRISON DIED THIS MORNING IN NORFOLK HOSPITAL
Well-Known Educator Expired After Suffering For Several Years--Was Only Thirty-Eight Years Old.
Prof. G. M. Garrison, well-known Union county school teacher, died this morning about ten o'clock in a Norfolk, Va. hospital, where he was undergoing treatment. he had been in ill health for a number of years, but he had gone to the hospital very hopeful of being materially benefited. his family had high hopes of his recovery, and there was general surprise when a message was received early this morning stating that his condition was very low. Mrs. Garrison was making arrangements to go to Norfolk tonight to be at his bedside when another message was received announcing his death.
The body will arrive here tomorrow morning, and will be taken to the home of his wife at Unionville. Funeral services will probably be held Sunday morning, and interment will be in the Unionville cemetery.
Prof. Garrison, after receiving a diploma from Wake Forest college in 1901, began his teaching career at Unionville. Later he went to Oklahoma city, Oklahoma, where he taught for several years. he then came back to this State and was Principal of the Marshville schools for a while. He also taught at Granite Falls. He was an excellent teacher, and was universally admired and respected by both his students and patrons. His death moves one from the county who was a force in the training of our boys and girls for better citizenship.
The deceased was a son of the late E. M. Garrison. He is survived by his wife, who is a daughter of Prof. O. C. Hamilton, and one son, two years old. He is also survived by his mother, who lives with the deceased's only brother, Mr. J. E. Garrison at Waxhaw. He is survived by several half brothers.
Prof. Garrison was a man who possessed an eviable personality. He was kind and generous, ever ready to do his part in every worthy measure and undertaking. His heart and interests were devoted to education and this he made his life work. And too, the cause of education loses one of its strongest adherents and workers in the passing of Prof. Garrison.
