...Presbyterian Church, a doer and dreamer, a smoker of Pittsburgh stogies, a man of vast physical bulk, who quit the regular ministry to homestead, later to edit and write for the family's Wallaces' Farmer. He wrote a three-volume story of his life and a robust column, "Uncle Henry's Sabbath School Lesson," which was one of the biggest circulation builders in Midwest journalism.

He has been on the Times news staff for 23 years, for the past two years as assistant night managing editor. In his spare time, Garst wrote (with Timesman Ted Bernstein) a widely used manual on copyreading, Headlines and Deadlines, and taught journalism at Columbia...
