Everett Beamus Garrard, son of Benjamin [Franklin] and Ida [Jane Sill] Garrard, was born in Nodaway County, Mo., May 19, 1895, and died at St. Luke’s hospital, Kansas City, Mo., August 7, 1918, aged 23 years, 2 months and 19 days.

Everett enlisted in Co. B, Sweeney Auto School Training, Department of the National Army, on April 6, 1918. He was stricken with pneumonia and taken to St. Luke’s hospital the 29th of April where he grew worse from day to day in spite of all medical aid and kind hands could do.

During his illness he was converted and was baptized and joined the Methodist Episcopal church. Of course, Everett would like to have lived to serve his country longer, but was willing to abide by the Lord’s will. He had not received his uniform when he took ill and expressed a desire to be able to wear it but the Lord [word unreadable] the order differently and not until after his death was his wish fulfilled. His father and two of his brothers, one of whom is in the United States service, visited the hospital, his mother not being able [rest of sentence unreadable] probably never would see her again on earth and for her to meet him in heaven.

There was a large concourse of people at the station to meet the funeral party on its arrival here.

Obituary

Leonard Roach Garrard was born in Sheridan, Mo., May 11, 1892, and died at his home in Des Moines, Iowa, October 31, 1922, aged 30 years, 6 months and 22 days.

On the 17th day of April 1920, he was married to Miss Esther Vespestad. This union was one of tender love and there was a manifest devotion to each other. Through his one year of suffering, the last 11 days being spent in bed, his faithful companion was always near, ministering and helping as only faithfulness in love can do. "Love suffereth long and is kind.”

Mr. Garrard answered the call to serve his country in the time of the great World War crisis. He gave 14 months to the service of his country where many laid down their lives for their friends. "Greater love hath no man than this." "Whosoever would be great among you let him be your servant."

He was baptised in the Christian faith and joined in the fellowship of the Methodist Episcopal church on the 11th day of August 1918, at Blockton. In recent days he gave testimony of a stronger and renewed faith as the end drew near. He was quiet in the peace of heart that passeth all understanding.

He leaves to continue life in the earth a wife, mother, father, sister and brother and many good friends.
