Sue, Are your GARRISONS connected to any GARRISONS in Waushara Co? This family came from NY.

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>>
