And though the body slumbers here,
The sould is safe in Heaven.

LOGAN, GARRETT W.
(Terre Haute Tribune, pgs. 1 and 2, March 17, 1924)
AGED RESIDENT IS CALLED BY DEATH
Garrett W. Logan, Former Rose Poly Instructor, Dies Sunday At Age of 80 Years
Garrett W. Logan, 80 years old, and for many years an instructor at Rose Polytechnic
Institute, from which he retired some time ago, died at the residence, 1501 North Center
Street, early Sunday morning, following an illness of two months.
The funeral will be held from the residence at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and will be
conducted under the auspices of Social Lodge, No. 86 F. & A.M., of which the decedent
had been a member for many years.
Mr. Logan also had the distinction of being the oldest living member of the First Baptist
Church, having united with the congregation in 1850.
He became connected with Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1889. Dr. C. L. Mees, former
president of the institution, in speaking of Mr. Logan and his work in the school, paid
high tribute to his many sterling qualities, his faithful and conscientious work and the
influence that he wielded over the student body.
The decedent was a native of Illinois, born in Clark county, but came to Terre Haute with
his parents at the age of seven years. He enlisted in the Civil War early in the conflict
and served throughout the entire period of the war.
Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Martine A. Logan; one daughter, Mrs. Vernor J. Gillett, a
son, Gilbert H. Logan, and a sister, Miss Lida Logan.
Death Felt at Rose Poly
Out at Rose Polytechnic students and faculty members joined in expressions of their sorrow
at the loss of "Daddy" Logan and the news of his death served as a depression
upon the usual St. Patrick's day festivities. School will be dismissed Tuesday afternoon
to permit the students and faculty to attend the funeral in a body.
President Frank Wagner this morning said that Rose Poly would feel keenly the loss of Mr.
Logan. "He had been associated with the institution for so long that he seemed an
integral part of it," said President Wagner, "and he knew practically every
student and alumni of the school until his retirement in 1922.
A real mechanic and teacher, he was respected and well-liked by every student and member
of the faculty. He kept the best of order in his classes and he was always willing to help
any student and they in turn would do about anything that "Daddy" Logan wanted
them to. Rose Poly as well as the whole city mourns with the passing of Mr. Logan."
That G. W. Logan was one of the most wonderful men whom he ever knew was the statement of
George Greenleaf, superintendent of the shops.
"Mr. Logan lived a full and real life," said Mr. Greenleaf and was unusually
active in his work here until the day he retired at 78 years of age.
"He was a real mechanic, a fast worker and a clear and speedy thinker. His ability
and work alone was enough to command the respect and admiration of all who knew him and in
addition to that he was a man of the highest character."
Heze Clark, athletic director of the institute said: "In the hearts of the Rose Poly
alumni, of the students and the faculty, and of the citizens of Terre Haute, there is a
feeling of sadness today for Garrett W. Logan is dead. Years ago when I first coached Rose
Poly athletic teams I met "Daddy" Logan. He was a man worth knowing. Every
person who met him liked "Daddy" Logan. He was a real teacher and the students
at Rose knew it and respected him. When I, or anyone else, would want something at the
shops, "Daddy" would always see that we got it. He was a real Rose Poly booster,
a true teacher and had the respect of every man who was fortunate enough to know
him."

"DADDY" LOGAN PASSES AFTER USEFUL CAREER
Veteran of Rose Poly Shops and Civil War Dies After Short Illness
Garrett W. Logan, 80 years old, and a citizen of Terre Haute for 72 of those years died
early yesterday morning at the home, 1601 North Center street. In July 1923, Mr. Logan was
instructor in shop practice at the Rose Polytechnic institute, and was familiarly known to
the large number of students with whom he came in contact as "Daddy Logan". He
had been sick about two months.
Mr. Logan was born November 22, 1843, in Clark county Illinois, but came with his parents
to Terre Haute when he was 7 years old. In the first days of the civil war, he enlisted at
the age of 17 and served throughout the period of the war.
Mr. Logan was the oldest member of the First Baptist church of Terre Haute, having united
with the church in 1852. His work at Rose Polytechnic institute began in 1889 and was
continuous up to the time of his retirement. During this time, he not only maintained the
highest respect and esteem of the student body, but was held in highest esteem by members
of the faculty.
This is well evidenced at the present time through Dr. C. L. Mees, president emeritus of
the school and president during Mr. Logan's connection.
"Mr. Logan was always a faithful and conscientious man and has exerted an unusual
influence over the large number of students with which he came in contact," said Dr.
Mees. "He was always highly valued not only for his ability but for his
character."
Mr. Logan is survived by the widow, Martine A., one daughter, Mrs. Vernor J. Gillet, and
one son, Gilbert H. Logan, all of Terre Haute. Funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at the home and will be in charge of Social Lodge No. 86, F. &
A.M., of which Mr. Logan was a member. Burial will be in Highland Lawn. Mr. Logan was also
a member of Merton Post No. 1, G.A.R.
