Remembrances of Otis Sylvester Garrett, son of Isaac Sylvester Garrett and Margaret Hancock:
Nancy Garrett married a Mr Miles who was killed in the Civil War, he was a Capt. She died in Dallas Texas, had a daughter named Alice who married Mr Cox. Mr Cox was a band leader in Fort Worth Texas. The Coxs had an adopted daughter who married a Mr Hoffman. The Hoffmans had 4 boys and a girl . . .
Fort Worth Texas - 12 October [1918] In spite of the serious drouth which has held sway in Texas all this year, Liberty Loans and various other calls on our people, the coming season in this city promises to be one of unusual activity. Although all the clubs and managers have not as yet completed all arrangements for concerts, still enough are already announced to prove that there will be no diminution in musical interests this winter . . The Municipal Band under the leadership of W. T. Cox has furnished music in the various parks of the city all summer and accompanied two or three of the community sings. The sings have been under the leadership of Sam Losh, song leader at Camp Bowie, at Fort Worth.
