    1. [RINEWPOR] Garrettson Memorial School
    2. Can anyone on this list tell me more about the school mentioned in the following note from my daughter? "I don't remember who told me about it or where I read about it etc. but...there is or was a school named Garrettson Memorial located at 299 Spring St. in Newport R.I. 02840 What I found today is a little piece of paper ripped out of something else, but on the back is a notation that something was done and the date is 1981. So... this information may be of little or no use, but is interesting." Was the person honored either Frederick Prime Garrettson or his wife Marie Angele (Firth) Garrettson? If it is I would appreciate any data available about them. Except for an extensive piece in "Representative Man and Old Families of Rhode Island," I have not found much on this family. It seems that Frederick's greatgrandfather, Thomas, was a brother of Rev. Freeborn Garrettson, and nephew of the James Garrettson from whom my decent is traced. Thanks, George W. Garrettson
