Garten Is Laid To Rest Pioneer's Funeral Was Saturday - Lived in Lindsay 26 Years -

Funeral services for the late Dr. H. F. Garten were held Saturday, November 14, 1931 in the Lindsay Baptist church, conducted by Rev. Anson Campbell of Oklahoma City. Arrangements were made by Tip Watts, funeral director of Oklahoma City. The pall bearers were some of the "neighbors" of the deceased in Lindsay Camp Modern Woodsmen of America. The remains were laid to rest in Green Hill cemetery.

Dr. Garten was a man of generous impulses and never forgot the hospitable ways of a pioneer. The stranger, even though a beggar never failed to find food and shelter if sought at his hands. He was honest, kind hearted, friendly and had many virtues. He will be missed in Lindsay by many friends.

Henderson Franklin Garten was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, August 26, 1868 and died November 12, 1931 at his home in Lindsay. He was united in marriage with Allie Marie Morris, August 31, 1891 at Purcell, Oklahoma, moving to Medicine Lodge, Kansas to make his home.

Two daughters survive from this union, Jessie L. Seela and Mrs. Christine Walker, both of Oklahoma City. His first wife died in 1899. On May 26, 1901 he was married to Huldah Taylor Jump of Velma, Oklahoma.

To this union seven children were born, five of whom survive. They are Rowe M. Garten, Mrs. Blanche Moses, Mrs. Goldie Mae Simmons, Okla S. Garten and Miss Augusta Garten. An infant son died in 1907 and a daughter, Charity Garten Harper died in 1926.

Dr. Garten lived in Kansas in the early part of his life, moving to Medicine Lodge from Kentucky while a young man. During the territorial days in Oklahoma he was engaged quite extensively in stock raising, driving his cattle overland from the territory country to the Kansas markets. In 1905 he moved to Lindsay, Oklahoma, taking up veterinary work as a profession, having graduated from the American Institute of Veterinary Science of Chicago, Illinois in 1898. He bought his home in Lindsay soon after he came here and had been more or less active in the community life of this city until his passing.

He was a member of several fraternal organizations in this city and maintained his membership in the local camp of the Modern Woodsmen of America until the time of his death. He was a staunch democrat and took an active part in local politics since Oklahoma became a state.
