AMERICA JANE GARRISON
Mrs. America Jane Garrison died at her home near Sullivan, Greene County, March 13, 1923. Death was probably due to the infirmities of age, but the end was thought to have been brought nearer by an attack of grip from which she had suffered three weeks before. She was a great sufferer, but bore it all with such patience, which could not help but be noticed by those who visited her during her illness trying to be as little trouble as possible to those whose happy lot was to care for her. Mrs. Garrison was the widow of the late William Atwell Garrison who proceeded her to the grave 13 years ago. She was a daughter of St, Clare and Frances Sullivan, the last member of a large family and was 88 years old. She was a direct descendant of the earliest settler of Virginia the Simmons family for whom Simmons Gap was named. She spent practically her entire life within a radius of three miles having been born near the place she died. Mrs. Garrison was known by everyone as "Ann America" which was rightfully due her because of her warm heartedness, and kindly advise to all. She had been a sincere Christian for 70 years having given her heart to God at the age of 18. She was a member of the Church of the Brethren though loyal to her own denomination she was not selfish toward others for all who in the work of the Master, whose pleasure it was to visit her home or live in her home as many of them did, always found and open door and a hearty welcome and good advice and counsel whenever it was needed. Mrs. Garrison took as her companion the Word of God. On visiting her home one would always find her studding this sacred book and example everyone should follow. She leaves two sons, Messrs. William K. Garrison of Cedarmere and Robert L. Garrison of Sullivan; also a daughter-in-law in Batavia, Ill; seven grandchildren and a number of great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Mrs. Garrison was tenderly laid to rest by the side of her husband in the family burying ground at Sullivan March 14. The funeral services were conducted by Elder George A. Maupin, as was her request, assisted by Rev. Robert W. Lewis, Mr. E. Y. Vernon was the undertaker. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends attended the funeral to pay their last tribute of respect to this dear woman, whom they had long loved and honored. The sweet memory of her will long linger in the hearts of those who knew her and her good works will follow her. Her beautiful Christian life and her goodly advice and counsel should be taken as guide posts along the way to the goal which she has so peacefully attained, eternal life and a home in heaven.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There by his love overshadowed,
Sweetly her soul shall rest.
Mrs. George W. Hall

SAMUEL LEE GARRISON
Samuel Lee Garrison, 75, of Crozet, died Sunday, Jan. 1, 2006, in his home, surrounded by his loved ones. Born in Greene County, Nov. 9, 1930, he was a son of the late Dosh and Mirtie Thompson Garrison. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Raymond Garrison. Sam worked for 17 years at Virginia Greenhouses, growing tomatoes and the biggest mums anyone ever saw. When the greenhouse closed, he wanted to stay busy so he went to work for Patterson's Flower Shop, in Crozet, which made him very happy because he felt needed. Sam was a very private man and tried to lend a helping hand to anyone he met who was in need. He used to say "My pockets are running over with thank you's." He is survived by his wife, of 54 years, Alice Thompson Garrison; son, David Garrison and his wife, Janice, of Stuarts Draft; daughter, Becky Campbell and her husband, Jimmy, of Roseland; two grandchildren, whom he loved very much, Brian Shifflett and Stacy Campbell, of Roseland; two sisters, Dorothy Coleman, of White Hall and Mary Jane Coleman, of Charlottesville.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Gordon Morris, the staff at Martha Jefferson Hospital, the Hospice of the Piedmont, and the many friends who offered their prayers, love and support during Sam's brief illness.
