16, 1863, and departed this life on March 31, 1933, at the age of 70 years and
15 days. Mr. Garretson came to Appanoose
county with his parents in 1869, and from that time his life has been spent in

upright citizen, respected by all who knew him, and in his passing he leaves a

uncomplaining. Throughout his suffering,

faculties until last Friday morning when he lapsed into a coma, and passed away
Friday evening March 31, at 8 o’clock. His
