"The Weekly Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, June 17, 1909, p 1.
Mrs. Matilda J. Garrigus was born in Scioto Co., Ohio, January 3, 1835, and came to Illinois with her parents in early childhood. She was married to Jacob Garrigus sometime in the year 1854 and they lived happily together until his death, August 12, 1894, since which time she has spent most of her summers in Illinois and Wisconsin and her winters with her sister in Washington, D. C.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Anna C. MacDowell of Washington, D. C., and four children, Mrs. Ella G. Allen of Chicago, Ill., Wilber C. Garrigus of Milton township, Wis., Joseph E. Garrigus of Decatur, Ill., and Charles H. Garrigus of Otter Creek, Wis. She became a Christian in early life and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she remained a faithful member until called to the fellowship of the church above, when she quietly fell asleep in Jesus, after a brief illness, on Wednesday morning June 9, 1909, being a little more than 74 years of age.
She will be greatly missed by all who have known her for she was an unusually bright and cheerful woman, with a smile and a pleasant word for everyone. She was a faithful wife, a wise, loving and gentle mother, and an intelligent, earnest and faithful Christian.
The funeral services were held in the Milton M. E. church, her pastor officiating, assisted by the choir of the Milton Junction M. E. church, after which the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Milton cemetery.
Those of her relatives who attended the funeral from out of town were her sister, Mrs. Anna MacDowell, and her daughter, Miss Elizabeth MacDowell, of Washington, D. C., and Mesdames Ella G. Allen, Edgar French and Fannie Faul of Chicago.
The pall bearers were Peter Traynor, Dave Brown, True Bassett, W. P. Marquart, Scott Robinson and Frank Shuman.
