Posted on: Wood Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wi/Wood/719 Surname: BENSLEY, GARRISON ------------------------- Interested in the GARRISON name: The family arrived in Centralia, Grand Rapids (Wisconisn Rapids) in 1854. At one time there was a Garrison school and Garrison Island Park. Original business was in lumber - saw mills, then branched out. Names of interest are Orestes d 1874, Viola d 1899, Frank d 1905, Elma Garrison BENSLY d Mar 1861, Charles, Llewellyn, and Henry D d Mar 1866. I am also interested in the editions of local newspapers dating back as early as 1858 in hopes to find more info on the deaths of Henry and Elma GARRISON BENSLY. Thank you Sue
