He was buried at the Score cemetery just outside Ilfracombe. Because of the state of the cemetery I was unable to reach the grave to discover who else is buried there. (see also his father).
The details held by Ilfracombe Museum give his address as 5 Church Street, Ilfracombe date 12 September 1914 aged 61 and that the burial was by "coroners order".
His name is also on the grave (U49) of his first wife at Holy Trinity in Ilfracombe.

He left £175 each to William George and Frederick John and all the household effects to his wife. The rest to be held in trust and the income to be paid to his wife (Lucy Grace). After Lucy's death the estate to be divided between the four children - William George Garnish, Frederick John Garnish, Reginald Blackmore Garnish and Doris Annie Garnish. There was an offer that Frederick John could purchase the draper's business from the trustees and a complicated method put in place to agree a price for it. However, if he did buy the business then the trustees would lease the house and premises (5 Church Street) to him for £30 per annum for the life of his wife and a further year. If he didn't have the money to buy the business (other than the £175 left to him) he could owe it to the estate paying interest at 4% per annum.
