Century Memorial

Francis T. Garrettson, who died last July at the ripe age of ninety-three [sic: ninety-two], had graduated from college and entered the study of the law as long ago as 1846. He was a skillful specialist in the management of estates, and retired from active work fifteen years ago, when advancing years had brought him the right to leisure.
