Obituary from Aurora Co. Standard newspaper, 8 September 1911, page 2, col. 5
DEATH OF GUSTAVE GARDNER
Gustave Gardner, the twin brother of Adolph Gardner, Sr., died last Saturday about 2 p.m. at his home in Eureka township, nine mile south east of White Lake, from a complication of diseases. For some time he had been in poor health and had sought relief at the Chamberlain Sanitarium but without avail.
The deceased was born in Germany June 16, 1844 and came to America in 1860. He settled in Ford County, Ill. where he met and married Miss Mary Laupitz. In 1863 he migrated to Shelby county, Iowa where he lived three years and then went to Lincoln Co., Nebraska, where he took up a homestead and lived upon it for seventeen years. He has been a resident of Aurora county since 1901.
Ten children were born to this union, seven of whom are living and who with a loving mother are called to mourn their loss.
A brief funeral service was held at the home Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. Ed Van Ruschen of the Presbyterian church, after which the remains were taken to the White Lake cemetery for burial. As the friends stood around the open grave of the departed, Rev. Van Ruschen again spoke words of comfort and consolation, and offered prayer.
The sympathies of many friend in the community will be extended to the bereaved.
(although the obituary spelled his name as GARDNER, he went by GARTNER)
