George Wood Garrard, son of General Israel Garrard, was born in Peekskill, N. Y., August 20, 1863. He was educated at Morgan Park Military Academy, Chicago Ill., and supplemented this training with extensive travels in Europe and the Orient.

His collection of Japanese curios is particularly interesting. Mr. Garrard has devoted his life to managing the Garrard estates, and at the present time is manager and owner of the Frontenac Stone Company, mentioned elsewhere. He was married in 1889, October 31, to Virginia Colden Hoffman, daughter of Lindley Murray Hoffman, a prominent New York broker, and his wife, Margaret Mott. To Mr. and Mrs. George Wood Garrard have been born three daughters, Beulah Murray, Evelyn Stuart and Catherine Wood, all at home.
