"Otis Garner, eldest son of Cyrus and Susan Marshall, was born
in Waveland, April 4th 1879, and passed away at the City Hospital
in Indianapolis January 22, 1933, age 53 years, 9 months and 18
days. Early in December he was taken ill with influenza, which
developed into double pneumonia, which caused his death.
"He grew to manhood in this community, attended Waveland
school and was also a member of the Methodist Church. He was of a
very charitable nature, always willing to assist any one as far
as he was able.
"He was married in 1906 to Dora Goff Hartman of Browns Valley,
who died ten years ago. He was of a family of ten children. The
father, three brothers and one sister have preceeded him 'over
the river.' He was a painter and paper hanger by trade which he
followed for a number of years. But in later years was in the
restaurant business. He was at one time owner and operator of the
Eaglet Cafe on Green St. in Crawfordsville, going from there to
Champaign, Illinois, then to Martinsville, Indiana, and at the
time of his death he had been night manager of a restaurant in
Indianapolis for three years.
"He leaves to mourn his loss, a mother, Mrs. Susan Marshall,
two brothers, Guy of Marshall, and Clyde of Waveland, three
sisters, Mrs. Freda Hill of Colfax, Mrs. Avery Fuller of
Waveland, and Miss Laverne at home, one step-daughter, Mrs. Eva
Wadell of Clinton; several nephews and many friends.
"And ever near is the unseen The dear immortal spirits tread.
For all the boundless Universe is Life; There is no Death." - Diane Killion
