William Garrison, the second son of Absolom Garrison, after receiving his education, married Miss Bowyer and settled on a small farm near Enfield, Illinois.  He was elected one or two terms in White county as County Commissioner and served with honor to himself and his country. He was educated for the profession of the law but never entered the profession. He died in 1864 or 1865 and left two or three children and a widow to mourn.
