From The History of Holt County Missouri, Circa 1917, Page 400-401:

"John T. Garrett, farming the Ed McCoy place in Benton Township, was born in Atchison County, just across the Holt county line, on the Abel Lawrence farm, February 7, 1882.

When two years old he came to Holt county and lived on the John Miller farm for seven years. Then he moved to the Ridge Show place where he lived for two years. The family then moved to Choctow Nation, Oklahoma, but returned to Holt county the next year. Soon after Mr. Garrett rented the McCoy place, where he now lives.

He is the son of William J. and Mary E. (Foreman) Garrett, both natives of Kentucky. Mr. Garrett is still living but his wife died twelve years ago.

John T. Garrett was married in Craig, June 13, 1906, to Myrtle Brooks, who was born in Holt County. They have one son, Ernest Raymond Garrett, born June 11, 1910.

Mr. Garrett is a hard working practical farmer; is ambitious and making a success of his undertaking. His future is bright and he will undoubtedly be one of the men of influence in his neighborhood before many years."
