"The Journal-Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, Dec. 11, 1924, p 1.
Perry Fred Garthwaite, son of Orson C. and Susan E. Garthwaite, was born on a farm near Newville, May 5, 1872, and died in Mercy hospital at Janesville Dec. 9, 1924, in the 53rd year of his life. He was the oldest of two children. His sister Miss Mercy E. Garthwaite survives him.
In 1888 he was baptized by the Elder Nathan Wardner and joined the S. D. B. church at Milton Junction. He remained a faithful member of that church during his entire life.
He was married Nov. 8, 1894 to Hattie Julia Hull of Lima, and to them were born three sons, Harlow Benton of Chicago, and Lester Bernard and Francis Byron of Rockford, all of whom are living.
He was preceded in death by his wife, who died at Mercy hospital, Aug. 5, 1923, and was buried in the family plot at Milton Junction. He leaves his parents, his sister, three sons, one daughter-in-law, Mrs. F. B. Garthwaite of Rockford, and his grandson, Robert Byron.
He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, the I. O. O. F., and the Mystic Workers, and also held membership in the trade and musical circles in which he moved.
Mr. Garthwaite was a man whose integrity and sincerity built up for him a circle of those friends who value sterling qualities in their fellow men and who will feel keenly his absence from their activities.
A brief service will be held at the house Friday afternoon, Dec. 12, at 2 o'clock, followed by the regular funeral service at the Milton Junction Seventh Day Baptist church at 2:30. Burial will be in the local cemetery.

"The Journal-Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, Aug. 9, 1923, p 1.
Hattie Julia Hull was born at Walworth, Wis., December 8, 1875, and after six weeks of critical illness died at Mercy hospital in Janesville, August 5, 1923.
She was the oldest child born to Richard E. and Jennie Buirley Hull. Others of her brothers and sisters are Mrs. Grace Oakley, Loyal W., and Mrs. Glenberta Coon of Milton, Frank C., of Johnstown, Lester W., of Milton Junction, and Mark H. of Janesville.
On November 8, 1894, she was united in marriage to Perry Fred Garthwaite of Milton Junction. The ceremony was performed at her father's home in Lima by the Rev. George W. Burdick. Mr. and Mrs. Garthwaite have made their home in Milton Junction, in Janesville and, more recently, in Rockford, Ill. Three children were born to them, Harlow of Chicago, Bernard of Clinton, Ind., and Byron of Rockford, Ill.
Mrs. Garthwaite was a devoted Christian woman and actively interested in the work of the church. During an evangelistic campaign held in the Rock River Seventh Day Baptist church and conducted by the Rev. George B. Shaw and the late Rev. E. B. Saunders she confessed faith in Christ, and on July 26, 1890 was baptized by the Rev. Simeon H. Babcock, and united with the church. On June 13, 1896 her membership was transferred to the Seventh Day Baptist church at Milton Junction. In the fellowship of this church she continued up to the time of her death. She was an active member of the ladies' aid society, and whenever possible gave freely of her time and means.
She was a charter member of the Women's Relief Corps located at Milton Junction. She was also an active member of the fraternal organization, the Royal Neighbors of Janesville.
Mrs. Garthwaite is survived by her aged parents, her brothers and sisters, her husband and sons and a little grandson, Robert. Many friends deeply sympathize with the immediate family in their loss of this Christian woman.
Farewell services were held at the home of Mrs. Fay B. Coon in Milton and at the Seventh Day Baptist church at Milton Junction Wednesday afternoon, August 8, conducted by Pastors Sutton and Jordan. Music was furnished by a ladies' quartet: Mrs. Edward Hull, Mrs. Leland Shaw, Mrs. Wayland Coon and Miss Marion Coon. The pallbearers were Loyal, Frank, Lester and Mark Hull, brothers of Mrs. Garthwaite.
The committal service at the grave in the cemetery at Milton Junction was conducted by the Royal Neighbors.
