Garlock of Muscatine, which occurred there Sunday morning after an illness of long duration with consumption. He was born in Wilton 37 years ago. He was a lawyer of ability and promise, and was making rapid advancement in his profession. He was one of the charter members of the Muscatine Rifles, Co. C. The Muscatine News-Tribune sums up his military record thus: He was familiarly called Capt. Garlock, and as a member of the Iowa national guard he stood pre-eminent. His name is one of those borne upon the roll of charter members of the Muscatine Rifles, which organization was first known and sworn into the service of the state as Co.C of the 9th regiment. He at once exhibited a natural and remarkable aptitude for military duties. He was so proficient in drill, and won the prize medal offered to the best drilled man so frequently that he was finally barred as a competitor. He was a sergeant and drilled as left guide in the Mobile contest, and was soon after elected first lieutenant, in which capacity he led the company to victory in the memorable Jacksonville drill in 1886, beating the celebrated Bush Zouaves of St. Louis. The Muscatine rifles appreciated his services so highly that he was made the recipient of an elegant gold watch and chain, appropriately engraved. Capt. Fred Walker having removed from town, Mr. Garlock was unanimously elected to succeed him and held the position of captain of the Muscatine company continuously until his appointment as brigade inspector of rifle practice with the rank of major in 1893. As captain he commanded the Rifles at Washington D.C., in 1887, and at Kansas City in 1890, and fully maintained his reputation as drill master and tactician of the first rank. His abilities in this line were recognized by regular army officers and national guardsmen alike. With the advent of the new drill regulations prize drills gave way to rifle practice and Capt. Garlock at once became an enthusiast in the latter branch of a soldier's education. He personally qualified as a sharpshooter under the United States rules, and had the satisfaction of seeing his command rank first among the companies of the state. Major Garlock while captain of the Muscatine Rifles was often offered promotion, but preferred to remain where he was, at the head of the noted company which owed so much to his untiring efforts. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.-------"THE MUSCATINE JOURNAL", Muscatine, Iowa, December 24, 1894, page 4-----Death loves a shining mark. At half past two yesterday morning the spirit of Chas. F. Garlock was freed from its earthly tenement and was wafted to the great beyond. While the news of his death was not unexpected yet it falls with a shock upon the community in which he has so long been a prominent figure. He had been confined to the house ever since the election, but prior to that time he was out walking quite frequently, sometimes going to his place of business, but his friends knew it was ony a matter of time. All this sickness which extends back over a year, he has endured without a murmer. The deceased was born in Wilton and was in his 37th year. His parents moved to Muscatine and here he received his preliminary education, graduating from the high school. He then graduated from a Chicago law school. On returning home he associated himself with Judge Carskaddan for the practice of law and in that progession he ranked with the brightest and soundest. For some time he had been manager of the Van Nostrand Saddlery Co. In 1881 he was married to Miss Frances Gray, who survives him as does his father and mother, three sister, Mesdames Sacrider and Leverich, of this city and Mrs. Walters of Colorado and a brother A.W. Garlock, now living in Missouri. Captain Garlock, as he was called by his friends possessed a military record in the National Guard such as few men ever had. While not of high rank at any time he was noted far and wide as the best company commander known to guard. He enlisted in Co. C., in the old Ninth regiment, on June 18, 1878 and reenlisted in 1881. He went through the noncommission offices and was made first lieutenant of the company in May, 1886, and was elected captain in January, 1887. From the time he took command of the company it grew and all the people of Muscatine know the victories gained by it under his matchless command. In November of 93 he was appointed inspector of small arms practice of the First Brigade with the rank of Major. Soldierly in bearing and deportment, he won friends in military circles. Besides this he was the best shot in the Iowa national Guard. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, from the family residence on West Fourth street. It will be conducted according to the rites of a military funeral, Company C. acting as escort. --------------------- NOTICE All members of Eagles Lodge No. 10, A.O.U.W., are requested to meet at their hall tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock for the purpose of attending in a body the funeral of our deceased brother C. F. Garlock.
