Garter, Judge Ephraim
Reading Independent, Thursday, April 15, 1880

Judge Garter, an old and respected gentleman and pioneer, after a short illness departed this life for that bourne from whence no traveler ere returns on Friday, April the 9th, at a quarter past ten in the evening. Judge Garter came to California in 1849, bringing his family with him, and entered upon the duties of his profession. In 1850 he located in Shasta, where he has resided ever since. As a lawyer he stood in the front ranks of the profession, and for several years he occupied the position of District Judge of the Ninth Judicial District. He also occupied the position of County Judge of Shasta county. Mr. Garter was loved and respected by all who knew him, and has taken with him to his grave a reputation unsullied, and a character unassailed and unassailable. He had attained the ripe age of 72 years when he died.

[Since writing the above we are informed by John Ellis that Mrs. Garter died this morning at 5 o'clock.]

Note: Following the obituary are resolutions passed by Judge Bell in the Superior Court which mention Judge Garter's first name of Ephraim.
