General Notes: Husband - Mason Garrison

---

He was a native of the Old Dominion, where he worked in a cotton factory during early life, but at the age of twenty he came to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. After being variously employed for three or four years, he and George Leach built the first woolen-mill in central Pennsylvania, which they conducted for about twelve years, and then sold the machinery to a factory erected at Bridgeport. Subsequently, Mr. Garrison bought a tract of wild land, from which he developed a good farm, later known as the John Holden place, and there spent his remaining days. In connection with his farming operations, he also mined coal during the winter season, which he would raft down the river. Politically, he was an ardent Democrat, and served for four years as justice of the peace. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
