Can anyone tell me if Patrick Garrett was a brother of Big Mike Garrett who was the superintendent of grounds at the Deer Park from 1873 to 1887?

According to GARRETT COUNTY: A HISTORY OF MARYLAND's TABLELAND, by Stephen Schlosnagle and The Garrett County Bicentennial Committee: "In 1872, when Garrett County was formed, residents of the mountaintop relied solely on word-of-mouth and the United States mail for communication with the outside world. The railroad brought the telegraph line to western Maryland, though, and forty years after Samuel Morse installed his first telegraph line along the Baltimore-Washington tracks of the B&O in 1844, the first Oakland-based telegraph message was sent from the B&O station in Oakland to Baltimore. The year was 1884; the message sender was PATRICK GARRETT. By the end of the century Western Union telegraph stations had been established at Oakland, Mountain Lake Park, Deer Park, and Altamont." page 306 Doris G. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bonnie McCroby Wuensche" <mccroby@hotmail.com> To: <MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 12:10 AM Subject: [MDGARRET] Patrick GARRETT? > Who can tell me about Patrick Garrett?

Was there a telegraph station in Deer Park at the Deer Park Hotel? Do you think the reason he is in the picture with the cooks and staff? -------Original Message------- From: MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com Date: Monday, July 21, 2003 09:29:53 To: MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDGARRET] Patrick GARRETT?

Fellow Researchers, Does anyone have either in their lineage or knowledge of, Wilbur B. BOWSER, b. 23 Sep 1941, d. Dec 1979. He was married to Irene Dorothy FRIEND. They lived in Accident, Garrett Co., MD. I am seeking information regarding who his parents were, any siblings, or any available information. He was reportedly killed in a mining accident. Information about this accident would also be appreciated. I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you. Kenneth

Who can tell me about Patrick Garrett? I just saw a copy of a picture of the Cooks and staff at the Deer Park Hotel and there is a man in a suit near the far right identified at Patrick Garrett. I believe there is a copy of this photo at the Historical Society. Any clues?

Charles, Do you have the parents of Charles Wilhelm listed in the 1880 census as grandson (3 years old) living with my Anna Mary Hetrick and Andrew Snyder family. Charlie would therefore have been born in 1877 or so. Jonas Hetrick (b. 1856), nephew, was also living with the Snyders. Anna Mary (1830-1906) is my g-grandfather Conrad's (1827-1878) sister. Am also related to Hershberger. Harshbarger is awlful close in spelling. Is there a story there?
