VICTIM OF FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT
Charles A. Gardner, Formerly of Madison, Dies of Injuries at Indianapolis
Charles A. Gardner, son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Gardner of 214 South Jefferson Street, this city, met with a frightful accident at Indianapolis that resulted in the loss of his life.
Mr. Gardner was employed at the Indianapolis gas works and while at the gas house at noon Tuesday his right foot became caught in a large cog wheel. His entire right leg was drawn into the machinery and he was disemboweled before the machinery could be stopped. Still alive, he was rushed to the city hospital, where he lived for seven hours. He was almost completely disemboweled, but his heart and lungs were unaffected so that he did not die instantly.
Mr. Gardner was 41 years old and married. Besides his parents he is survived by a brother, Cary Gardner, of Osgood, and two sisters, Mrs. Cory F. Brinson and Mrs. John Van Antwerp.
He went to Indianapolis from Madison about four years ago. While here he worked on farms in the county.
The remains will be brought to Madison on the noon train Friday and taken to the Gardner home on South Jefferson Street. Funeral services will be held at ten o'clock Saturday morning and burial will be in Fairmount Cemetery.
Mr. Gardner was a good, hard working man and his family and relatives have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement.

Obituary
Charles A. Gardner, son of George W. and Mary A. Gardner, was born January 11, in Lena, Iowa. He departed this life October 22, 1918, age 40 years, 9 months and 11 days.
In May 1898, he came with the family to Indiana where he lived until his untimely death.
April 20, 1904, he was married to Mary A. Oakerman(sic). To this union was born one son, Charles, of Indianapolis.
December 14, 1916, he was married to Mrs. Bertha A. Erton, of Indianapolis. Two days later he met with a terrible accident, when for days his life was despaired of, but God spared him to remain a little longer.
In November, 1917, he heard the voice of God, and according yielded his life to the Master. Later he joined the Belmont United Brethren Church, remaining a faithful consistent member until death.
In August, 1918, he was elected Sunday School Superintendent, serving faithfully in that capacity for the remainder of his life.
Charles was true to Christ and to the church, even to the end, praying as his life went out, "not my will, but thine be done." Forgetful of self, he prayed earnestly for the Sunday School, his relatives and friends, his parting words being "Trust in Jesus."
We shall miss his life of service, but we look forward with hope to the day when we shall meet him in the "city beyond death's sea."
He was preceded in death by two brothers, Willie G., who died in infancy, and Franklin, who died March 3, 1918.
He leaves to mourn his death, his wife, Bertha, son, Charles, Jr.; one brother, Carry, of Osgood, two sisters, Mrs. John VanAntwerp, of Holton, Mrs. C. Brinson, of Wirt, his beloved parents and a host of relatives and friends.
"Dearest loved one, thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But our God who has caressed us
He will all our sorrows heal.
We loved you, yes we loved you,
But Jesus loved you more
And He called you
Sweetly, gently to the other shore."
