Our Mountain Home May 8, 1918
"I am 63 years old and farming and preaching to three county churches," said Rev. 
W. M. Garrett a beloved preacher in Clay County. "I am working harder than I ever 
have in my life, for I have five boys four in camp and one in France the Rainbow 
Division." "I am not complaining but am proud that I had such a fine lot or sons 
to give to Uncle Sam when he needed them. I believe that every one of them will 
be loyal and courageous soldiers, for I instilled it into them. I am ready, so 
far as it is within my power to serve my country to the best of my ability, and 
so am doing my, best to put in a good crop."
