MRS. C. GARVIN PASSES AWAY
Summoned Just Two Week After Husband

Death came last Friday morning to Mrs. Catherine Ann Garvin, just two weeks following the death of her husband, Jack P. Garvin. She had been critically ill for quite some time in Mrs. Evan’s Rest Home on the Black Canyon highway between Glendale and Phoenix, where she had been a patient since last August. Mrs. Garvin had never recovered from a stroke suffered in December 1945.

A native of Iowa, where she was born in Jones County, near Anamosa, on March 10, 1876, Mrs. Garvin had lived in Arizona for 31 years and in the Wickenburg community since 1930. She had many friends here, made during her long residence.

Seven Children
Mrs. Garvin is survived by seven children, a brother and a sister and a number of grandchildren. The children are Carl Walters of Wickenburg; James Walters of Aguila; Jack Walter of Tillamook, Ore.; Roy and Paul Walters of Los Angeles; Mrs. Mildred Robinson and Mrs. Kathryn Porter of Phoenix. The surviving sister is Mrs. Nellie Alexander of Los Angeles and the brother is George Hanna of Maquoketa, Iowa.

All the surviving children except the son in Oregon were here for the funeral services held Monday afternoon of this week at 3 o’clock at the Wickenburg Chapel, conducted by Rev. Charles A. Suber of the First Presbyterian Church. Burial took place beside her husband in the Wickenburg Cemetery.
