    Garland

    The Garland family has had a significant roll in the Emmet Methodist Church, and they are closely related to the McSwain family. Hannah Josephine McSwain, an older sister of C. D. McSwain, married Robert R. Garland of White County, Arkansas, on September 10, 1865, at Falcon in Columbia County, Arkansas [Southwest Arkansas Genealogical Society, comp., Columbia County, Arkansas, Free Population Schedules, 1860 (Magnolia, Arkansas: Southwest Arkansas Genealogical Society, n.d.), 70].

    The growing Garland family was in Columbia County, Arkansas, in the 1870 and 1880 censuses, but they were in Emmet in the 1900 census where they had joined members of their extended family. They were living in the dwelling next to the C. D. McSwain home [Twelfth United States Manuscript Census, Emmet Town, Nevada County, Arkansas].  They had come to Emmet earlier, possibly in the 1880s.  [Garland´s obituary in the Nevada News of October 11, 1923, states that he had lived in Emmet more than forty years and was a lifelong member of the Methodist Church.  The paper erroneously listed his initials as ``W. W.´´ when they should have been ``R. R.´´]

    In a deed from Lucious H. McSwain and his wife conveying a lot to the Methodist Church in 1892, R. R. Garland was named as one of the trustees of the Emmet Church.[Nevada County Deed Record Book W, 548 and 549.]  His son Thomas L. Garland married Junie Trotter.In 1910, T. L. Garland was living in the home of his uncle and step-father-in-law C. D. McSwain and was later associated with him in business in the Emmet Mercantile.Garland served as president of the Emmet Mercantile. His brother J. M. Garland was the secretary and treasurer [Arkansas Methodist, May 14, 1936, p. 9.].

    John McSwain ``Mack´´ Garland married Elizabeth Christopher of Prescott in November 1909.[Bruce J. Martin, comp., Nevada County Arkansas Marriage Records, Jan. 1902-Sep 1910 (unpublished typescript, 1992), 14. Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives, Washington, Arkansas.]  The Garland brothers, their children and other family members would remain in Emmet and be strongly associated with the Emmet Methodist Church that played such a large role in their lives.Their families made numerous memorials to honor their memory.
