NOTES: JOHN GARNER, from the Daily Courier, San Bernardino, California, pg 20:
Pioneer John Garner expressed a willingness to close his eyes on the scene of this world and trust for his reward in Heaven. With patience, he bore his illness and was conscious until the last. When the last hour was near, he called his children to his bedside and with a Father's admonition, shook hands and bid them all an affectionate farewell.
While he disliked to leave them, he stated that he wanted to see his mother, also his wife. He was prepared to go and by an unfaltering trust, approached the grave like one that draws the drapery of his couch about him and
lies down to sleep in pleasant dreams.
Pioneer John Garner was born in Davidson Co, NC May 1 1820 and died at his home in Newport, LA Co, Cal, 26 Feb 1889, lacking 2 months of reaching his 70th birthday.
His father's name was David Garner, who died in Harrison Co, Iowa at the remarkable age of 105 yrs. His mother's name was Elizabeth Jane Stephens, who died at the advanced age of 81 yrs at San Bernardino 3 April 1868.
David and Elizabeth Garner raised a large family-six sons: John, George, Henry, William, David and Phillip; 5 daughters: Nancy, Marinda, Sarah, Eliza and Elizabeth. All have died except William, who lives at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, Henry, who lives at Magnolia, Morrison Co, Iowa, David who lives at Ogden Utah, Sarah residing in Harrison Co, Iowa and Eliza in the Missouri Valley.
David came to visit his brother John during the last sickness and started on his return home on his 71st birthday.
Like many of our pioneers, John left his home in Davidson Co when a boy and went to Lima, on Bear Creek in Hancock Co, Illinois, where his brother George lived. Here, he worked on the farm and when of age, married Mary Ann Olive Rawson, who was born 8 Oct 1826, and removed to Nauvoo, where he lived about 5 yrs, when in 1846 he crossed the plains to Council Bluffs, where he remained 2 yrs and where his children, Syrinda and Rebecca died of dyptheria.
From here he continued his journey westward across the plains to SL Valley, where he arrived in 1849. On 1 Mar 1851, he started for San Bernardino with 3 wagon trains, in charge of David Seely, Capt Jefferson Hunt and Andrew Lytle, arriving at Sycamore Grove south of Martins old station near the Ca Jan Pass on 20 June 1851. A camp was made for the settlers to locate in the valley, afterwhich negotiations were made for the purchase of San Bernardino Ranch from the Lugo family, and thus began the settlement of San Barnardino Valley.
Among the numbers who came with these trains were pioneers Edward Dally, Sheldon Stoddard, James Colburn, Morly and Nathan Swatout and Jerry McElvain, the latter drove one of the ox teams for Mr Garner.
The western part of the valley was selected by Mr Garner as his home and Garner Grove will be ever remembered as the spot where some of the happiest 4th of July and May Day celebrations have been held.
Twice Mr Garner was elected supervisor of the county and discharged the duties of such office faithfully and honorably.
In 1874, after living in San Bernardino continually for 21 yrs, Mr Garner moved to Newport with his family, where he continued his favorite occupation of farming and stock raising.
His wife died December 1880 and was brought to San Bernardino where she was buried by the side of her mother in law. Since then, he has lived a quiet life and through his long sickness, suffered without a murmur, being attended by members of his family.
Mr Garner has been blessed with the following children: William, John, Mary Ann, Daniel George, Agnes, David and Sylvester, all residing in Newport except John who lives at Santa Ana.
At his request, his remains were brought to San Bernardino by his family, to be laid away by the side of his mother and kindred. The funeral was held on 28 Feb and largely attended. The pall bearers were selected from the
Pioner Society. A most appropriate and impressive sermon was delivered by Joseph Smith, Jr, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and spiritual advisor of Mr Garner.
He paid a merited tribute to the noble life and many virtues of the deceased; and when we shall enter that narrow valley through which he has passed before us and which leads to the judgment seat of God, may we be able to say through faith in good works and in the beautiful language of the hymn of the dying christian.
Dying but ever living and triumphant-the world recedes, it disappears. Heaven opens my eyes, my ears. With sound seraphic rings. Lend me your wings. I mount idly. Oh, grave, where is they victory. Oh death, where is thy sting. Copied by A M Rawson.

John married Mary Ann Olive Rawson 16 Jan 1845, Hancock, Illinois, United States. Mary (daughter of Horace Strong Rawson and Elizabeth Coffin) was born 8 Oct 1826, Washington, Indiana, United States; died 11 Dec 1880, Newport, Mendocino, California, United States; was buried Dec 1880, San Bernardino, San Bernardino, California, United States.
