Garrett Family
Family of Albert T. Garrett
In Row 16, Row 11, and Row 12 of the cemetery, this particular branch of the Garrett family is buried. There is a total of seven buried here surrounding the large, overall family headstone. The seven members include the father, Albert T, the mother, Emma F, their children, Nina, Eugene, M.Olive, Cora Virginia, and Emma's mother, Eliza E Ewers. Their death dates range from 1873 to 1927. A for Row 12, William Ernest Garrett and his wife Elizabeth are buried there; William was the son of Emma and Albert. In Row 11 Paul Yates Garrett is buried. It is unclear why these two brothers were not buried with the rest of their family in the main plot. All of the headstones are well maintained, but that may be from the church's volunteers rather than from any surviving family members, it is unclear.
William Ernest, and his wife Elizabeth Esther, and Paul Yates are buried separately from the rest of their family in the main Garrett plot. Along with being buried in a separate part of the cemetery, their headstones are more elaborate than those of the rest of their family. These brothers also seem to have lived the longest out of the rest of their siblings, which may have contributed to not being buried with them and their more elaborate headstones.
