Died at the residence of his son, Mr.
Wesley Garrett, two miles east of this place (St. Omer), February 9,
1881, Mr. William Garrett, aged ninety-nine years and eleven months.
Mr. Garrett was born in Virginia on the 9th of March, 1781, and came to this State in 1829. He voted for Thomas Jefferson at his first election, and has voted for every Democratic candidate for President since up to and including General Hancock. He retained his faculties, both mental and physical, in much of their original vigor until a short time before his death.
He was the father of twenty-three children, of whom only one survives him.
A life covering a century is given to but few men, and especially a century so full of wonders as the one just completed. Mr. Garrett was universally respected and esteemed for his sterling worth, and his death is lamented by all. Requiescat in pace.Thursday, February 10, 1881

Simeon Garrett, who has been an invalid for several years, died last Saturday evening, January 22, in
the seventy-third year. His funeral which took place yesterday, from his late residence, two miles northeast
of St. Omer, was attended by a large concourse of friends and relatives. Mr. Garrett was a native of Virginia
and came to this State with his father, and in the year 1829, settled on the farm on which he died.
He was a
fair specimen of that generation of rugged pioneers, whom now, alas! we have so few remaining.
Hardy and
rough they were, perhaps, in both mind and body, yet how much do we of the present generation owe to their
bravery, their energy and their homespun habits of thrift and economy. Mr. Garrett, by industry and economy,
succeeded in acquiring a handsome fortune. His father, Mr. William Garrett, is still living, being now in his
one hundredth year. Thursday, January 27, 1881
