Mrs. Samuel Gardner to be laid to rest in Coshocton
BODY COMES FRIDAY
Word of the death of Mrs. Samuel Gardner, 90 years old, which occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Eugene Wood in New York Tuesday night reached Coshocton friends Wednesday. Although she had been absent from Coshocton for many years, Mrs. Gardner will be remembered by scores of older residents of Coshocton and Roscoe. During the early 60s, the home of the Gardners, at the locks in Roscoe was the was the mecca of the social life in the community. Those who were young men and women at that time, look back with the keanest pleasure to the good times enjoyed at the hospitality of the Gardner family. They were a family of musicians and rarely an evening passed by that house was not filled with the happy company of young people making the air ring with their happy voices. Samuel Gardner for many years was the collector of the canal and also held the office of justice of the peace. The family later moved to Coshocton and occupied the house on south Sixth street now occupied by the Waddell family.
Mr. Gardner died more than 30 years ago, and shortly following his death the family left Coshocton.
Of the seven children only two are living. They are Mrs. Wood, wife of Eugene Wood, a well known writer of magazine articles, of New York, and Mrs. Ella Blackburn, wife of Dr. Blackburn of Pittsburgh. The other children were Mrs. George Agnew, Kate, Julia, Clinton and Benjamin Gardner.
The body of Mrs. Gardner will be brought to Coshocton for burial. It is expected to arrive at noon Friday, and will be taken from the train to the Oak Ridge Cemetery for interment.
--------
Mrs. Margaret Gardner (born Van....) died of senile pneumonia _____ at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Eugene Wood _____street.
She was born in Holland Patent, New York, December 14, 1824 and was ....by her nineteenth year. But the ____ which in her lifetime she ____ and appreciated at their value, ____________ and farther reaching ____ say a thousand years of the ____ history before. It was not that ____ was not discovered ___________ until he had been twelve ______. It was not alone that ________ slaves in the United States _______ as a matter of course; the ____ which have been wrought ______ which have affected the whole ______ of society lay in the fact that whereas everything used to be ___ at home for us, everything ____ ____ was made at a factory for ____. When she was a little girl she was struck by a light with flint and ____, and their only illumination was by homemade candles. When she was being courted in marriage -- an increasingly pretty girl -- the railroad was a novelty of as doubtful predictability as the flying machine is now. And almost her honeymoon ____ was when she and her young husband started out for the Far West of Ohio, from Utica, N.Y., to Coshocton, Ohio, all the way by water. By the Erie Canal by Buffalo, thence by lake packet to Cleveland, and thence by the Ohio Canal to Coshocton. It took two weeks to go the distance that now scarcely takes a waking day. But it wasn't tedious. They were young lovers and when they tired of riding they would get out and walk along the tow path and pick flowers. Also, the moon was bright all the two weeks long, as it is when one is young. She lived into the age of electric light in which almost nothing is made by hand, so that she who knew how to spin and weave and dye, and to make the starch from potatoes, to "dress-make," could only occupy herself with embroidery for she was cunning with the {cradle?}.
A sweet and loving soul! As she dreamed her way toward the final sleep she talked of "going home." And now in the graveyard in Coschocton, Ohio, beside the husband who preceded her thirty years ago, she is at home. May the Earth rest light upon her.
