HISTORY written by Eleanor L. Johnson:
Aunt Maud was my favorite aunt because we always seemed to spend more time with her than any of my mothers other sisters and she was a fabulous cook.
No one else cooked like she did unless it was her mother, my grandmother, Ruth Angeline Maynard Garrison. It was such a treat to go to Aunt Maud's home in Madera, California and play with my cousins June, Dorothy and Leon.  Howard was away in the service and married by then.We'd go thru Madera on our way to Palo Cedro, California to visit my grandparents, Robert & Ruth Garrison.  It was always a favorite stopping off place and I have many happy memories of that time spent with the Garrison side of the family and specifically Aunt Maud Garrison Maxwell and her family.  My Mom (Dorsa Mae Garrison) and Aunt Maud were the closest of sisters, soul mates. I think that was because they heard the missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) while they visited in Aunt Francis Maynard and Uncle John Watson's home.  They knew their message was true and both joined the church,  Maud in Tennessee and mother in Salt Lake City.  Aunt Francis was Ruth Angeline Maynard's sister and much loved by Maud and Dorsa.  Their home was the gathering place for the Mormon missionaries in that area of Tennessee, so it was natural for Maud and Dorsa to hear the gospel message regarding the restoration of Christ's church by a modern prophet, Joseph Smith.. Maud joined the Mormon Church in Tennessee but later when she married her husband  was against her association with the church.  She was a peaceful person and  followed her husbands council but never lost her belief in the church and Joseph Smith.  She encouraged my mother to leave Tennessee so she could follow her convictions regarding the restored church of Jesus Christ.  For both of them it took courage to do what they did when the family was opposed to it though they always were kind and hospitable to the Elders and shared their meals with them when they came to visit. They just did not understand what a wonderful spirit there was in the meetings they attended and how their hearts had been touched by the truth.  My mother traveled to Salt Lake City after a tearful goodbye to her family in Tennessee. She was baptized in the famed Tabernacle on Temple Square in the basement baptismal font. Her posterity are greatly blessed because of her decision. To this time July 1998 (update July 2004), none of Maud's descendents or any of the other Garrison brothers and sisters have become members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

Donnel Bush and his wife took care of Aunt Maud in her later years........used to go and visit her and take care of things she needed.  When she was incapable of taking care of her self  ......Dorothy and June put her in a Fresno Rest Home and then she was taken to June's to live till she passed away.  Don said that they never told him when she died and so he was so disappointed.

BIRTH:
Bible records in possession of Nancy Winegar's children: Jimmy Winegar or Shirley Winegar Smith..Palo Cedro, California. 
Birth certificate states his name as:  Herbirt...He never went by that name.  The birth for that date and time was for Arthur Howard Garrison to those parents.

   
Talked with Uncle Art 5-7-97.  He is still grieving over the loss of Veryl.
He isn't feeling very well, his legs swell, his heart is bad.
He said Uncle Sam's heart is really bad, has had by-pass surgery and needs it
again but won't do it again.  Sam  1-616-238-8842.  Coming back to Michigan
from Arizona where he was for winter.

I sent flowers after talking with him, next day.  Called Allen Park Florist,
19225 Ecorse Rd., Allen Park, Mi  48101-2259  Phone: 313-383-6161.  Spent
$37.10  which will go on mastercard.
Found florist on internet.

Letter written 29 Dec 1997, received Jan.3, 1998....Letter from Sam's wife,
Gail Garrison, 233 N. Val Vista  #A228-B, Mesa, Ariz. informing me that Art
had passed away with a heart attack while he was preparing his car to go down
to Calif. for Christmas.  His death appears to have occured on the morning of
23 Dec. 1997....Art and Veryl both gone with in a few months of each other, it
doesn't seem possible.  I'm very sad but should be happy that they are now
together.

Gail sent me the note that Art had written   which was found on his desk.

My Prayer For This Family At Xmas 1997
      Lord, please give your blessings to us on this day, your birthday and guide us this next year on what we have to face.  Give us the strength and health to face what is in our future year.     We thank you for our past blessings and allowing us all to mature in our past deeds and future ventures.     We give thanks for being able to celebrate another Xmas together.
      I dearly miss my beloved wife and partner who has helped to religiously guide us over the past years.  And I pray she is resting in peace and still sending her blessings down on us.
      Thank you Lord for everything.

(Gail said...found in tablet on the dinette table.

Gail Garrison's letter (in part)as follows:12-29-97, Dear Eleanor & Charles,
       Your beautiful Christmas card was forwarded from ATopinabee to us here.
We were sorry to hear of C's stroke and your return home.  Art had shared your
interesting letter with us.
       I am not sure how many relatives have been contacted by Robert & Judy
Garrison, or Cheryl Hamilton (Veryle's niece in Michigan.)
       Art had come to AZ with us the last week in October, we took him to Calif.
   the following week where he stayed for a couple of weeks and then flew home
to Allen Park.  He drove back on 12-15 with a friend who returned to MI on
12-19.  He seemed to finally have come to terms with the loss of Veryle.  On
Tuesday A.M. he was polishing his car, getting ready to go to Calif. for
Christmas.  The neighbor looked out window about 10:30 AM and saw him lying on
concrete next to his car, and she immediately called 911, but paramedics were
unable to sustain a heart beat.  He went to hospital, where he was pronounced
dead.
      The funeral will be in Negaunee, Mi, on Saturday, 1-3-98  The nieces will
be there, and they said Khrista will also go, but we are not able to go.
Also, Ada Ruth (Garrison-Watson)called and said she was negotiating to fly up.
      Art had his estate all settled, except we could not find a listing of
personal items, but I didn't look very hard.  I sent briefcase to Cheryl, per
instructions from his lawyer.
       (she talks a little about her genealogy and then concludes)
       If you have more questions, please write.  I've been on telephone almost
constantly since last Thesday.
With love,
Gail and Charlie (to me) Sam (to you)

Hi,  One of sister Nancy's daughter is putting together a scrapbook and is asking questions I can't
answer and was wondering if I could pick your brain?  When did the Garrisons leave Tenn.?  Where did they go first before settling in Palo Cedro?  Do you know any stores about Pearl as a child.  What she liked to do?
Do know she was burnt pretty bad by some boiling water when she was a toddler and Aunt Nancy helped nurse    her back to health.  The older brothers used to tease she a lot. They told her if she rubbed chicken dropping on her chest it would make her breast grow.   Great to have older sibling  I really hadn't thought about how little I knew about Mom before coming into her life.   
We just got back from Kona, Hawaii.  My daughter Sandi and husband are looking to built another house in Kona.  Property have sky rocketed this last year on the big island.  Don't think they will be able to get as good of a deal as they did on the last piece of property.  There other house is in Walkaloa Village about 35 minutes north of town.  Thanks for the info.
