Children:  (Info from Shirley Krilowicz)

A. Hester 1886 d. 1954 m. John Thomas Garrison. 

My mother did tell me a story that before leaving home at any time, Hester always threw the broom that stayed next to the fireplace out the back door  to keep sparks from igniting the broom and setting the house on fire. I guess she's had a significant emotional event concerning fire sometime in her life. "Mr" John and "Miss" Hester ran a General Store on the north side of the town of Fayette, in Fayette County, selling food, clothing, shoes, gasoline, etc., until they retired and turned its operation over to my dad. After Hester's death, John married Maggie Shirley, the widow of Fenton Shirley.
