Thayer's Note:

a Rev. Garst's middle name and birth data are from p24 of A West-Pointer in the Land of the Mikado (Fleming H. Revell Company, New York, 1913), a biography of him by his wife, Laura DeLany Garst; his AOG obituary gives his birthdate as August 21.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
