Died--On the morning of the 8th inst., Marilla Elizabeth, youngest daughter of Frederick S. and Margaret C. Garritt, aged 1 year, 3 months and 21 days. [8 April 1857]
I sent for this Garrett obituary years ago (probably to the Arkansas Archives after finding her name listed in an index) hoping it was for one of my relatives (it wasn't).
The Frederick Garrett family was still living in Little Rock, Pulaski Co., Arkansas, when the 1860 census was taken (per Footnote.com).

Little Marilla Garrett was too young to be included in the 1850 census, having been born in September of 1855, and had already died when the 1860 census was taken.
For those looking for additional Arkansas obituaries there is a blog devoted to them here.
