Elkhart Co. census where Debra GALLENTINE is the head of
household with seven children aged 21-9 Ruanna, Abram, David,

SURNAME: GARRETT
QUERY: Alonzo GARRETT b Nov 1880 in IN married a Zula Locke on
Oct 5, 1904 in Elkhart Co, IN. They had a son Robert Garrett in
1905. They divorced and she married a Frank Rigsby in Berrien Co,
MI on Oct 12, 1923. After the divorce, I have no information
about Alonzo until 1912 when his father, THOMAS JEFFERSON GARRETT
of Wabash Co, IN died and the Non-Resident Notification printed
in the Wabash Newspaper said Alonzo was in Detroit MI. I have
information that the son Robert worked for Miles Labs and when he
died he was buried in Elkhart IN. Any information no matter how
trivial about any of these people will be appreciated.
