Death of Mrs. Carder.
Mrs. Rebecca Carder died Wednesday, September 30, at the home of her daughter in Hanna, after an illness of several weeks, aged 78 years.
She was one of the pioneers of Marshall county, her maiden name was Rebecca Burden and she was a sister of Joseph and Stacy Burden.
Fifty-seven years ago she married Thomas Gibson, a brother of J. M. Gibson of this city. Less than two years later he was killed by falling from a wagon load of corn, the wheels of the wagon crushing his head and breaking his neck.
He left his wife and one child, five weeks old. That child is now Thomas Gibson, a prominent citizen of Fort Wayne.
A few years later the deceased married John Carder, who was for many years a resident of Inwood. He died about fifteen years ago.
Mrs. Carder was an estimable lady and her death is mourned by her children and many relatives and friends.
