Obituary in Ipswich Journal 28th Oct. 1848
21st inst., at Athelington, in his 56th year, Mr. Robert Garrard. Few men pass this way from this scene whose loss can be more sincerely deplored or more extensively felt. Besides the blank which is then created in the affection of a numerous family the deceased was justly respected by a wide connection of friends to whom he was endeared as a man of high probity, true and just in all his dealings, liberal in sentiment sincere as a friend and as a neighbor ever prompt to discharge the social duties of his station. Peace to his spirit.
A man of means he left an extensive will. |
