July 9, 1878 and passed away at the Grisell Memorial Hospital in Ransom, March 10, 1947, at the age of 68 years, 8 months and 1 day, after an illness of more than 15 years. He spent many weeks in different hospitals where all that medical skill and loving hands could do for him were of no avail and he gradually grew weaker until the end. He came to Barton County with his parents and sisters when only a few months old, where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage to Miss Anna I. Milton December 23, 1907. To this union three children were born: Sarah Christine, who passed away at the age of six weeks; John Milton of Ransom; and Kenneth Alexander of Boise, Idaho. The family moved from Barton County in August, 1918, and located on a farm west of Brownell where they lived for several years. John was one of a family of 10 children, all of whom preceded him in death except two sisters: Mrs. Anna Lubbers of Ensign, and Mrs. Effie Hammerstead of Redlands, Calif. He is also survived by his wife, Anna, who was constantly by his side during his illness; their two sons, two daughters-in-law, three grandsons, and a host of other relatives and friends. One of his greatest pleasures was to spend an afternoon up town visiting his many friends. His family was always first in his thoughts and until poor health overtook him, he was never too busy to lend a helping hand wherever needed. Garrelts was baptized into the Presbyterian Church when a baby, and when a young man he attended church regularly. A short time before his passing he told members of his family that he was ready to go Home, and was going soon. Funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon, March 14, at 2 o’clock at the Brownell Methodist Church by Rev. Eugene Woolverton of Hays. A quartet composed of Orville Hair, Donald Weeks, Woodrow Stull and Francis Zeller, sang “The Old Rugged Cross”, “Sweet Bye and Bye” and “Abide with Me.” Pall bearers were: Ben and Roy Skaggs, Virgil Snodgrass, Carl Richolson, Chet Ricks, all of Brownell, and Frank Ramsey of Salina. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Ransom Cemeterywith Mortician Fitzgerald in charge. Out-of-town guests who attended the funeral were: David Garrelts, Mrs. Betty Grimes and Frank Ramsey of Salina; Mrs. Emma Thorne and Henry of Hoisington; Mr. and Mrs. E.R. Lubbers of Ensign; Mr. and Mrs. John Lubbers of Dodge City; and Mrs. Mary Hendrix and Wayne of Modoc. Ness Co. News, March 20, 1947
