Kin Of Famed Abolitionist.
William L. Garrison Jr. Funeral Rites Planned.
   William Lloyd Garrison Jr., 89, grandson of the fiery abolitionist of the same name, died yesterday in a Brookline nursing home. He had resided at 26 Dean Rd., Brookline.
   Born in Roxbury, he graduated from Hopkinson's School in Boston and then Harvard in 1897, receiving an A. B. degree.
   He took a position with a bank rather than complete his third year at Harvard Law School. From 1916 until retiring in 1933, he was president of Coffin & Burr Inc. investment bankers. He advised on trusts for many years after that.
   At one time a member of the Newton School Board, he belonged to the Union Club of Boston and the Tuesday Club of Newton.
   Besides his wife Edith (Stephenson) he leaves three daughters, Mrs. Robert Emerson and Mrs. Reed Harwood of Lincoln and Mrs. Eugene Bliss of Salt Lake City, Utah, and three sons, William Lloyd Garrison 3rd, of Jamaica Plain, David L. and John B. Garrison, of Lincoln.
