Clinton MO, Mar 1900 - On last Thursday, March 29, Benjamin Carder, old and respected citizen of the Gaines neighborhood, died of pneumonia. Mr. Carder was born in St. Louis county September 30, 1842 and came to Henry County with his parents about 50 years ago. He died at the Carder homestead settled by his father. He united with the Christian Church some 25 years ago and attempted to carry out the principles of his religious conviction without ostentaiton or show in his daily life. He married Margaret Prewett in 1866. They raised a family of five children, two sons and three daughters, all at home but one, Mrs. T. J. Martin, who lives in the neighborhood. As one by one the pioneers of our county are laid away and covered with the clods of the valley, we fell more lonely and the reflection is more vivid and real that 'ere long those of us who first began to subdue the natural conditions here 50 years ago will have passed from the memory of man. Other men will till the soil first brought into subjection by the pioneer's plow.
