Gardell married Grace Lee Gay circa 1902, the first marriage for both. As of the 1910 US Census, Grace had given birth to three children, one of whom (two year-old daughter Verna H.) was still living. The 1920 Census shows the couple with two more children: Fern (born circa 1911) and Dale (born circa 1913.) Gardell and Grace divorced sometime between the 1920 and 1940 US Census enumerations.
