commissioners for the term of ten years. The Board of Park Commissioners particularly entrusted to Commissioner Garvan the purchase of lands for and the development of Riverside Park. In 1898, as President of this board, he delivered the dedicatory address at the services attending the opening of Riverside Park to the public. This park has become one of the most useful pleasure grounds in this city, giving, as it does, a place of recreation and rest for the poorer classes and children of the East Side. Mr. Garvan has always taken a great interest in educational matters, three of his sons having graduated from Yale University and his daughters having finished their educations abroad. Two of his sons entered the profession of law, Frank P. Garvan, the present Assistant District Attorney of New York, and Edward J. Garvan, who was Judge of the Hartford Police Court for five years. The latter is now identified with his father’s business interests. Mr. Garvan enjoys the respect and esteem of a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances, not only throughout the State of Connecticut, but wherever his large business interests extend. He is a self-made, practical business man, cautious, conservative and strictly honorable in all his dealings, and through his native genius and his untiring energy he has been uniformly successful in all his business affairs. He is now a director of St. Francis Hospital, director of the State Bank and the Riverside Trust Company; is a trustee of the Society for Savings at Hartford and of the Cathedral parish, Hartford. In January, 1861, Mr. Garvan married Miss Mary A. Carroll of East Hartford, and ten children were born to them, eight of whom, four sons and four daughters, are living at the present time. His wife died in September, 1906. GELSHENEN, WILLIAM H., 100 William Street, New York City. GEOGHEGAN, CHARLES A., 537–539 West Broadway, New York City. GEOGHEGAN, JOSEPH, Salt Lake City, Utah.
