"The Kinmundy Express" - Apr. 25, 1935
Life History of Mrs. Barbara Ellen Garrett
Barbara Ellen, daughter of Jack and Sarah Holt Lansford, was born in Foster township May 12, 1865, and entered into perfect rest at the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Selby Garrett, six miles west of Kinmundy, April 16, 1935.
At an early age she was converted at a revival meeting held at Doolen school house and later joined the North Fork Church and was a true and faithful Christian until death called her home.
She was united in marriage to James William Garrett, February 10, 1887, by the Rev. John Ballance. To this union were born five sons and three daughters: Selby, Berthol, Frank, Clyde, and Harold, who died in early childhood; Mrs. Hazel Livesay, Mrs. Esta Robb, and Mrs. Mamie Bassett. A little nephew, Edson Jones, was given the love and care of mother and father until his passing away at the age of eighteen years. For more than forty-seven years she and her husband lived in the old Garrett homestead sharing their joys and sorrows together. They spent five months in Colorado. After the death of the dear husband and father, July 28, 1934, she made her home with her son, Selby and wife. During the summer months she passed some time with her other sons and daughters.
She has been in frail health for a number of years but was only confined to her bed for the past few weeks. All that loving hands could do to comfort her were administered, but the angels called her home to dwell with them.
She was a devoted wife, a kind and loving mother and grandmother. Their home was one where a hearty welcome awaited the relatives, friends and neighbors. The children have sustained the loss of a dear mother, the community a dear friends, but what is our loss is her gain.
Besides the sons and daughters, she leaves to mourn their loss, one brother, Monroe Lansford, of Arnold Chapel; three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Atkins and Mrs. Bertha Robb of Kinmundy, and Mrs. Cliffie Gillespie, of Vernon; twenty-two grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends.
Two little granddaughters, Clara and Isabel Garrett, are waiting to welcome their grandmother at the Heavenly Portals.
Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Selby Garrett, Wednesday, April 17, at 10:30 a.m., Rev. L.V. Lovell, officiating. Interment was made in Sandy Branch Cemetery.
