THE BRASHEAR NEWS, Brashear, Missouri, Friday, Jan. 9, 1925
A PIONEER RESIDENT DIES
Henry C. Garlock, son of Henry and Esther Garlock, was born in Preston County, West Virginia, June 2, 1842 and following an illness of several months, died in Brashear, Jan. 2, 1925, aged 82 years and 7 months. On Dec. 24, 1865, he was married to Mary A. Pearson and to this union six children were born, five of whom are living, one dying in infancy. In young manhood he joined the M.E. Church but drifted away and just a few weeks before his death, he was baptized by Rev. J.G. Garlock and renewed his faith in God.
The following statement was made by Mr. Garlock shortly before his death regarding his Civil War record:
"I enlisted in the First Northeast Missouri Regiment on the 15th day of November, 1861. On the first day of February, 1862, the First Northeast Missouri Regiments were consolidated into the 21st Missouri Infantry.
"I served in the Union Army four years, five months, and fourteen days. I was in the battle at Shiloh, Tennessee, and also the battle at Corinth, Mississippi. After the battle at Tupelo, Mississippi, we marched to Missouri to drive Gen. Price out of the state. We captured Gen. Marmaduke at the rear guard of Gen. Price's army at Independence, Missouri.
"I was left at Independence to guard the prisoners that had been captured. Then we took the prisoners to High Hill, Missouri, and from there we were sent to St. Louis, and the army marched to St. Louis.
"The army was in St. Louis for a two or three day rest, then sailed down river to Nashville, Tennessee. We had a two-day battle there with Gen. Hood, in which his army was annihilated. We marched from there to Eastport, on the Tennessee River, and remained there in winter's quarters until March 1st. Then we sailed to New Orleans, taking a sea-going vessel and going to the mouth of the Fish River. We went up the river in light boats to the Spanish Fort and Ft. Blakely.
"On April 7th we captured the Spanish Fort, then we moved to Ft. Blakely and captured that fort on April 9, 1865. We buried our dead and picked up our wounded and sent them to the hospital on April 10th. The 11th day of April we started to Montgomery, Alabama, the Rebel capital. After marching three days we received word that Gen. Lee had surrendered to Gen. Grant at one o'clock, April 9, 1865.
He leaves to mourn his death the five children, Will of Oklahoma, Ed and Mrs. Kate Edson of Colorado, Lucian of St. Louis, and George of La Plata, Missouri; one sister and four brothers, Mrs. Martha Ledford of Unionville, Missouri, Perry of Hutchinson, Kansas, Jacob, Harrison, and Lucian of Brashear, Missouri.
Funeral from his late home Saturday, Jan. 3. Burial in Prairie Bird Cemetery.
