Later he located on the farm near Nehawka. He was a member of
the Baptist church and for forty years he lived as a good
Christian man. He was prominent in the political affairs of
the state in early days and served two terms in the

Obituary of Emma L.
Bridenstine
Garrison,possibly the
Union Ledger, August 1904
Mrs. Emma Garrison.
Born Feb. 19, 1860, at hamburg,
Iowa. Died at 1 o'clock a.
m., on Friday, Aug. 26, 1904, at
the home in Lincoln, Neb.
Deceased, whose maiden name was
Emma L. Bridenstine, resided in
this town and vicinity a number
of years, and many friends here
were surprised and shocked when
the news of her sudden death was
received. Her death was entirely
unexpected, as she was in
apparent good health when she
retired that night. About 1
o'clock her husband's
attention was attracted by a
slight moan, and when he procured
a light he found that she had
passed away, death resulting from
heart failure. The funeral
services were held at 2
o'clock p. m. Sunday at their
home, Howard St., Lincoln, and
interment was made in one of the
cemeteries of that city.
Deceased was a daughter of Jacob
Bridenstine, who was one of the
early settlers of Cass county,
residing at Rock Bluffs a number
of years, and later near this
village, afterwards moving to
Kansas. She was a pupil of Judge
Ramsey in the schools at Rock
Bluffs in the early '70, moving
to this vicinity a few years
later. She was married Jan. 15,
1882, to Alonzo D. Garrison, and
resided in this village several
years. They have been living in
Lincoln the past four years. She
was a good Christian woman, and
many of her childhood friends in
this village and county are
grieved to learn of her
death.
A Card of Thanks.
To the many friends who came to
us with sympathy and assistance
in our sad bereavement by death
of our wife and daughter, we
desire to express our sincere
thanks. Such kindness is highly
appreciated and will not be
forgotten soon.

Obituary of Emily (Murphy)
Garrison,probably the
Union Ledger, December 1898
Obituary.
Emily GARRISON. --Bron October
16, 1846, in Floyd county,
Indiana. Died at the home in
Union, Neb., on Tuesday, December
13, 1898, at 3 o'clock a.
m.
Deceased was the wife of George
W. Garrison, to whom she was
married November 27, 1894, and
was a sister of Ezra Murphy.
About a year ago it was
discovered that she was suffering
from cancer of breast which
gradually extended to the lung
despite the efforts of the best
physicians to control it. During
all those months of intense
suffering she was patient and
submitted with Christian
resignment to the will of Him
whom she had learned to love and
worship. She had been confined to
her bed about five weeks and for
ten days prior to her death she
was unconscious most of the
time.
In
Mrs. Garrison's death the
bereaved husband loses a kind and
affectionate companion, this
community loses a noble member of
its society, and her absence will
be felt in the church and Sabbath
school, where she was an earnest
and influential laborer. The
funeral service was held at the
Baptist church at 2 o'clock
p. m. on Wednesday, Rev. S. R.
Dillon conducting a touching and
impressive service, taking for a
test these words: "We know that
if this earthly house of our
tabernacle is dissolved we have a
building of God, an house not
made with hands, eternal in the
Heavens." After the service a
large concourse of sorrowing
friends accompanied the remains
to the last earthly resting place
in the cemetery northeast of
Union. The pall bearers were G.
A. Rose, G. F. McNamee, Geo. N.
LaRue, Wm. Wolfe, Frank Runyon,
and John Klaurens.
Obituary of Amelia Anna
(Newlin)
Garrison,possibly the
Union Ledger, no date 1894
Obituary.
We are again called upon to
record the death of one of our
most worthy and estimable friends
-- Mrs. Amelia Anna, wife of
George W. Garrison. She was born
in Preston county, Virginia, May
1st, 1836, and was married in
Indiana August 9th 1855. They
moved to Nebraska May 18th, 1859,
where they have ever since
resided. In the year 1854 Mrs.
Garrison joined the Baptist
church and up to her death was a
consistent and devoted member,
always ready to espouse the cause
of true Christianity, and living
a life worthy the emulation of
those who chanced to know her.
She was taken sick July 2nd with
typho-malarial fever and endured
her suffering with Christian
fortitude. She was rational at
all times, and up to 5:30 on
Wednesday morning, the hour of
her death, she knew all around
her and evinced no evidence that
the end of her life was so near.
At 10 o'clock yseterday
morning the body was borne to the
Baptist church, where scores of
friends had assembled to pay
their last tribute of respect.
Rev. Mickle, of Lincoln,
delivered an able and touching
discourse over the remains of the
deceased. Loving friends had
decorated the altar with flowers
and plants. After the benediction
the funeral cortege slowly wended
its way to Union cemetery where
the last sad rites were
administered in memory of the
good and loving woman.
A Card of Thanks.
We wish to gratefully acknowledge
to all our friends the
appreciation we feel for the help
and sympathy extended to us
during the illness and death of
our wife and mother.
George W. Garrison & Family
