Gardner, held at Pleasant Hill church, four miles west of Richland. "Mr. Gardner ca"me into the Wa- karusa neighborhood In this county some time in the 80's, and for a num ber of years was one of our country school . teachers. I was fortunate enough to be a pnpil of his for three terms at the old Berry Creek school house. He had a- splendid education and had read much. In addition to the teaching of the common branches he coaxed and led the way to higher edu cation. He taught me . to love Burns and Goldsmith, and inspired all of us to search the writings and lives of great men in. the acquiring of an edu cation. He was ss. man of high in tegrity and clean character, and not only acted honestly, but thought hon estly. He was one of the very few real teachers that I have ever known. He could wake up a student and make him grow from- within the very kind of a man that Mark Hopkins must have been. He finally quit teaching, and,' having married, devoted himself to farming, and now leaves a wife and two children. During all these years, he has been one of my most valued friends. When I arrived at the little church on yesterday, I found that many others appreciated him in the very same way that I did. They came from the east and west, up and down the Wakarusa, from Overbrook, from Richland, and from other places a number of miles away and crowded the little church and church yard in a si lent, sorrowful group of neighbors and friends,: testifying' in their grief to his; splendid life and character."
