The following is copied from the Mils County Tribune dated May 14, 1914:

One of the pioneers of Rawles township, Emanuel Garrett, passed away at his home four miles northwest of Tabor on Sunday, May 10. Mr. Garrett was born in Bristol, England and was 86 years old. He suffered a stroke of paralysis on the Thursday before his death and never rallied from it.

Mr. and Mrs. Garrett came to Mills County from Salt Lake, Utah in 1867, and this county has been their home ever since. Mrs. Garrett died about two years ago. There were eleven children in the Garrett family, five of whom still survive.
