Obituary
J. M. Garland

One of the most prominent and worthy citizens of Ottawa has passed away in the person of Mr. John M. Garland, who died at 3 o'clock this morning at the family residence, 40 Nepean Street. The cause of death was paralysis, from which the deceased has suffered for several years. About four and a half years ago he had the first stroke, and a year later the second, since which time he has been an invalid. He was able, however to be around and yesterday was out driving., a favorite recreation with him. He seemed to be in a brighter mood yesterday than usual, and only a few minutes before passing away he joked with his nurse. about three o'clock the third and final stroke came, and almost immediately afterwards the spirit took its flight.

Mr. Garland was a man rich in good works, and he left a name that will long be cherished by the citizens of Ottawa. He was a charitably disposed man, and many were the acts of kindness that he performed. He was prominently identified with organised charity and rendered signal service in that regard. He was president for a number of years of the Perley Home, and when because of ill health he was no longer to take a prominent part in directing the affairs of the home, the board expressed its appreciation of his splendid services by making him honorary president. He had also been president of the Protestant Home for the aged.

In business circles Mr. Garland was much respected for his sterling integrity, for his energy and for his enterprise He was a member and an ex-president of the Ottawa Board of Trade, and a striking monument to Mr. Garland's executive ability is the present flourishing board.

In 1862 he decided to start an exclusive dry goods business in Ottawa, and formed in that year a partnership with the late Alexander Mutchmor. Mr. Mutchmor looked after the business in Ottawa while Mr. Garland did the buying, besides looking after his business in Ottawa, which he conducted until 1864.

In 1873 Mr. Garland stared by himself the wholesale business of which he was at the time of his death the senior partner.

In 1893 he erected the present handsome warehouse at the corner of Queen and O'Connor streets.

Mr. Garland was twice married, his first wife being Miss Isabel McKinnon, daughter of the late Neil McKinnon, and his second wife Mrs. Emily Maud McKinnon, daughter of the late Dr. McKinnon of Caledonia.
