Wapello Republican, April 18, 1935, page 4

Mrs. Abbie Tustison received word last week of the death of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Emma Garrett, who passed away March 19, in St. Luke's hospital, Seattle, Wash., following a stroke of paralysis. She was suddenly stricken in her home and lay in a state of coma for three weeks, never regaining consciousness.

Mrs. Garrett was a former Wapello resident, the daughter of Dr. Tustison, one of Wapello's pioneer physicians and surgeons. She celebrated her 73rd birthday anniversary last November. Mrs. Garrett was a teacher for twenty-five years and the past ten years worked as a clerk in the registrar's office at the University. Her only son, Max; professor of English at the Washington University for fifteen years, died ten years ago. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Ora Rood, of Seattle. She was a member of the Episcopal church and left her small estate to that denomination.
