She was born in Kansas City, Missouri Sept 6, 1885. Shen she was 9 her mother died. Most of her girlhood was spent in Wichita Kansas where she received her educatin, graduating from the High School and Academy. She was brought up in the Episcopal Church and was an earnest Christian. She was distinguished by an amiable disposition which won her a host of friends. The esteem in which she was held was evinced by the great number of sympathetic telegrams received, not only from her old home but from many other places where she was known. Mr. and Mrs. Garland had been friends from childhood. They were married in Wichita, Kansas Jan 20, 1905, being at that time within a few days of the same age and but a little more than 19. It is indeed pathetic that so soon after assuming this closer relation, with every prospect for a happy and useful life, that they should be ruthlessly separated. Death must come to all, but when it comes in life's morning, it must needs awake the general sympathy that is Mr. Garland's in this sad hour. A daughter Margaret Josephine, two and a half weeks old is left motherless. There is also the father and two sisters Jamie and Grace.
