BIOGRAPHY: John was born to Silas and Elizabeth Cheatham Garret in Montgomery County, Kentucky. He married his wife Rachel on January 12, 1840 in Mooreville, Indiana. They had 10 known children; Martha E, James H, Elizabeth Jane, Silas Eastman, Rachel Ann, Mary Ellen, John Wesley, Evan Skillman, William Alexander and Charlotte Emaline. He was a farmer and a member of the Christian Church.
1900 OBITUARY: An Old Settler Gone. Last Thursday pm occurred the funeral of John Garrett, one of Keokuk County's oldest settlers. He was born in Montgomery county, Kentucky, in 1826 (???). Five years after his marriage to Rachel Jones in 1840 he came to Jefferson county, Iowa, and later removed to Keokuk county. He was the father of ten children- five boys and five girls.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev Hanawalt and the writer. The deceased became a member of the Christian Church early in life. He was held in high esteem and respect by the many who were acquainted with him.
After a long and useful life he died April 18, 1900, aged 79 years, 10 months and 28 days. WT Fisher
Mr Garrett and two brothers and C Reynolds came, with ox teams, to this county in 1846. Uncle John settled on the old homestead, which is now owned by Sylvester Smith, and lived there until the fall of 1807, when he went to make his home with his son, JW Garrett. All of the living children were with him during his last hours. His wife died in February 1897. Uncle John was an honest upright citizen. His motto was, "Live and let live." To him it was a great pleasure to do a kindness for a neighbor and he never failed to do kind deeds when an opportunity occurred.
1914 OBITUARY: A terrible accident. An accident occurred over by Springfield which caused the death of Ancel Garrett, who was some 30 years old. He was hauling large tile and was standing on the back of the wagon. A couple ladies came along and saw the team with the load of tile standing in the road and one lady got out to lead the team by. She saw a couple of large tile on the ground and the other lady discovered that young Garrett, was under two of the heavy tile dead. It is presumed he fell off back and the tile fell on him killing him. He was a son of Do__ Garrett and highly esteemed. The funeral was held at Springfield Sunday and quite a number of her_ attended.
On last Thursday evening while helping Matts Biewen thresh, Earl Snodgrasse's team became unmanageable, running away and throwing him across the double-trees. Luckily he escaped without any serious injuries.
This community was shocked last Friday afternoon to learn of the sudden death of Ancil Garrett near Richland. This was also an accident caused by a team running away. Funeral services were held n the ME Church conducted by Rev Heath. The family have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their sad bereavement.
How the accident occurred is not known. Whether the team ran away, throwing the wagon into the ditch and overturning the tile on Mr Garrett, or whether the wagon got too far to one side, the tile slipped, catching Mr Garrett under their weight, each tile weighing six hundred pounds will never be known. The team stopped a half mile east, and they were not running and had not appeared to have been a runaway. The father of the boy testified the team was usually gentle, but had to be watched very carefully, as they liked to take sudden starts.
The county carries liability insurance and the parents of the boy will claim the same from the company. There may be a question as to whether he was working for the county or hauling for a contractor, which may complicate affairs in the settlement, but it is thought that the company is liable for it.
