Findagrave provides his full name, (visit link) while, for whatever reason, the original headstone and its modern "2.0 upgrade" (behind it) refer to him as "H. Garrison." There are guidelines on the headstone, and note the reversed letters n and d. The inscription is:

H. Garrison
Born Aug. 22, 1824
Died Dec 31, 1875

Other members of the immediate family are buried nearby, but most of their graves are marked with the modern markers (like Mr. Garrison's daughter: A photo is in the gallery.). It is unknown whether there was an earlier marker for each.
Date of Birth: 8/22/1824

Date of Death: 12/31/1875

Material: Stone

Web Site: Not listed
