Son of Muscoe Garnett and Sarah H. Booker. Born at Farmer's Retreat, King & Queen Co., former sheriff of Essex County
In Memoriam of Muscoe Garnett of Dunnsville who died Aug. 3d, 1922. The subject of this sketch was the son of Judge Muscoe Garnett and Sarah Henrietta Booker. He was born at Farmer's Retreat, King and Queen Co., Va., on Jan. 1st 1832, his father moving to Essex soon after his birth, and there he lived the rest of his life. He united with the Rappahannock Christian Church when a youth of seventeen and was always devoted to the cause which he espoused, and was a faithful and true Christian. He entered the service of his country in the Civil War and remained in the ranks of the Confederacy until Richmond was evacuated, returning to his native county with one suit of clothes and a horse. He entered public life of his county, serving in the capacities of deputy sheriff, assessor of lands, deputy treasurer and constable, and was always active and dilligent in the discharge of the duties of the office from 1869-1912. He married Miss Vanangus Amelia Dobyns on Dec. 22, 1870. Two children were born to them: Manie Leroy and Vanangus Amelia, who married Sydney Smith Newbill. Too much cannot be said of the wonderful patience in which he bore his illness of months, never a murmur, never asking for anything that was not necessary, never any in the least cross or complaining, but always grateful for anything that was done for him, an example which has been noted by the community in which he lived. The last ten days of his life was fraught with the most intense suffering, caused by a fall in his room, which fractured his hip. He passed to his reward on Aug. 3d, 1922, at 3:20 o'clock with his loved ones around him, was buried on Aug. 5th at Cottage Park by the side of his wife who preceeded him ten years. Thus a most useful and beautiful Christian life has passed, truly an example to be imitated.
