BRUCE EVAN GARRETT

Bruce Evan Garrett, oldest son of Menary and Margaret Garrett, was born near Earlham, Iowa on June 18, 1890 and passed away March 12, 1968 at the age of 77 years 8 months and 23 days.

Living in the Earlham vicinity, in his early years he received his education in the rural schools. On January 10, 1917 he was married to Florence Hays. He was a great lover of livestock and so lived on a farm as long as he could, working at auctioneering along with his farming. In the winter of 1962 health made it necessary for him to give up farming and move to town.

He was a person who liked to be at home, but enjoyed having company and visiting with his relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, mother, two sisters and one brother.

He is survived by his wife, Florence, one sister Mrs. Earl Ramsey, one brother, Paul Garrett, and one aunt Myrtle Garrett, all of Earlham; and one nephew Nile McKibben and family of Des Moines.

Note: Burial is at the Earlham Cemetery.
