After a lingering illness Rev. Jeddidiah D. Garrison, a Methodist minister for fifty years, and one of the old landmarks of Atlanta, died last night at 9:30 o'clock at his late residence, No. 265 Decatur street.
One of the ambitions of his life was to preach to the poor, and recently he was appointed by the city council to preach the gospel to the convicts at the stockade, but he became ill before he ever had a chance to fill the office and died with his desire unattained.
Rev. Garrison was born in Hall county, Georgia, in 1818 and had reached the age of eighty-three. In 1851 he was ordained a Methodist minister and he was at the time of his death a member of St. Paul's church, on east Hunter street.
When the war broke out between the states he enlisted in the confederate army and made a valiant and brave soldier. After the war he first settled in Coweta county, near Newnan, and about thirty-five years ago he moved to Atlanta. For many years his home was at No. 265 Decatur street, a two-story frame house, which was considered one of the most desirable residences in the city several years ago.
He was a member of the Confederate Veterans' Association and the camp to which he belonged will turn out in a body at the funeral.
His wife died several years ago and he leaves only one child, Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly, who was with him when he died.
The funeral arrangements will be made this morning.
On the 1870 census, his household consists of himself, daughters Frances and Elizabeth, and son James. He is a jeweler.
