Miss Elizabeth Josephine Garrison
was born in Marshall County,
Illinois, September 15, 1854, and died at her home in Holyoke
August 30, 1920 at 2 p.m., aged 65 years, 11 months and 15 days.
Her early years were spent in Illinois where she was united
in holy wedlock with George W. Furrow
on the 24th of November 1869 at Ottawa, Illinois.
To this union were born six children, Cora Belle,
Steward,
Mrs. Sol Buda, who preceded her mother to the better world by fourteen years;
Walter U. Furrow, now living in Montana,
Orville G. of Lamar, Nebraska,
Edson B. of Holyoke;
Jesse A. of Sterling;
and Verne B. of this city.
All the sons, together with her husband, remain to mourn the death of a devoted wife and loving mother.
Mrs. Furrow was converted in her early childhood and at the age of twelve was united with the United Brethren church. Upon their removal to McCook twenty years ago, she transferred her membership to the Methodist Episcopal church of which branch of the Christian army she has remained a faithful and efficient member to the very last.
For some years she has been a constant sufferer, coming to Holyoke in order to be under the doctor's care. But through all her suffering her patience and optimism have been an inspiration to faith on the part of all who knew her. Over three months ago she had a slight stroke, but recovered with the speed which her usual power assisted until a second stroke prostrated her two weeks ago.
During her last sickness, as during her active days, her thoughts were of the things unseen but very real to her devoted faith.
After her death this poem was found pinned to the first page of her Bible:
Asleep in Jesus, oh, how sweet,
The scene of closing day,
When holy angels come to greet
And bear the soul away
Surely we need not mourn the departure of such a one to the place of joy prepared for her, but our sympathy does go out to the husband and sons who will so greatly miss the inspiration of her presence.
The funeral was held at the Methodist church Wednesday morning at 10:00 o'clock, with sermon by Rev. W.E. Bennett.
The hymns sung at this time were all selected by the deceased: "Nearer My God to Thee," Lead Kindly Light," "We'll Never Say Goodby In Heaven." They were touchingly rendered by Mesdames Walrod, White, Painter and Coleman.
The remains were tenderly laid away in the Holyoke cemetery.

1939 "Joe L. Cheairs and Jesse Furrow, owners of the Valley Auto Supply which holds its formal opening Saturday morning in new, elaborate quarters at 441 Fifth street, have a wide background in the business of supplying outo parts. Both Mr. Cheairs and Mr. Furrow were engaged in similar business in Colorado before they moved to San Bernardino. Mr. Furrow has been connected with the auto supply business for 25 years and came to San Bernardino in 1925. Mr. Cheairs first entered banking, then turned to his present occupation and moved to San Ber nardino in 1930 to join Mr. Furrow in the Valley Auto Supply. a
Both men are from Sterling, Colo. and located in San Bernardino in belief that the city afforded the greatest future of any in Southern California because of its rapid progress and development as a trading area. When the forerunner of the pres ent firm, the Valley Rubber Supply, opened Dec, 1, 1925, at 513 Fourth street only one employe was en gaged by the firm. Then the company handled only tires and acces sories. Today, the Valley Auto Sup ply employs 23 workers and handles many lines for the automotive business, showing that the faith of the partners in San Bernardino was justified. a
The policies of the firm have played an important part in the steady growth and development of the company. Only local employes are engaged by the firm and all money spent for improvements, re pairs and other expenditures are spent locally. When the contracts for the new building were awarded, Mr. Cheairs and Mr. Furrow specified that all contractors should employ only local labor and purchase all material in local markets. Because of the expansion of the store, a branch of the Valley Auto Supply was opened last August in Barstow. This branch serves the desert district and is in charge of Lee Morrison, the oldest employee in point of service in the company. Mr. Morrison has been with the Valley Auto Supply for 14 years and starting as a delivery boy, worked successively through the various departments until he was appointed branch manager. The Valley Auto Supply opened in quarters only 13 by 50 feet in 1925.
chase it made from the profit to reimburse my office for its extra work," Mr. Graves said. Mr. Graves said the differences were not the fault of the board of education, a statement echoed by Mr. Kelty. Board members talked of studying rules and regulations of other city school districts to sea if San Bernardino was in line with common practice. Mr. Kelty said 95 per cent of the school districts used the same business system as San Bernardino. Mr. Graves denied the figures. It also suggested that pos - m? SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN.

Two month later, the firm moved to 539 Fourth street and employed four men. Then in 1929, increasing business justified a move to larger quarters to 444 D street. In 1934, the firm purchased property and moved to 441 Fifth street. The firm is distributors in San Bernardino, Riverside and part of Los Angeles counties and acts as the agent for many nationally known and advertised products. sibly the rules should be clarified and brought up to date. Mr. Graves suggested that one of the large universities be asked to study the San Bernardino district to see if it is following what is commonly considered the best school practices and, if not, to suggest changes. None of the educational functions of the school system was mentioned in the testimony and it was stated they are not involved, the controversy being limited as to the responsibility in purchases and other business detail.
