Died at her home east of Perryton at 6:00 p. m. on Tuesday, September 26, 1922, Mrs. Grace May GARRISON, aged 31 years, 4 months and 25 days. Seldom has it been our duty to record a death so sudden. A dark gloom spread over the entire community as it was whispered from one to another friend that Mrs. “Rube” GARRISON was gone. She was of an affectionate disposition, bright and winning in her ways so that friendship’s circle was to her a large one. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. HINES of Hereford, Texas being born near that place on April 29, 1922. On December 25, 1916 she was married to R. P. GARRISON, a pioneer citizen of this county, whom she leaves with two small children to mourn her loss.
Mrs. GARRISON’s sickness was of but brief duration, being less than twenty-four hours. Seemingly with us today, active in life’s round of duty and love but gone tomorrow. Besides the husband and the two children, Harold Bell, age 5 years and Truman Edward, age 3 years, there is the mother and father and two sisters and four brothers who are left behind. All the members of Mrs. GARRISON’s family came in from Hereford as soon as they learned of her serious condition.
The body was taken to Canadian by Funeral Director G. R. Wilson on Wednesday evening from where it was shipped to Hereford for burial.
Gone from our sight, but because life and love are stronger than death she is their’s still. She is still the mother of the dear children, upon whom she doted with such clinging fondness, and the companion still of him who mourns earth’s greatest loss and may she not by this very transition wield over them a stronger force for goodness and truth than before. Our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy goes forth to these loved ones in this sad hour of trial.
