He moved with his parents to Ohio in June 1838 where they lived on a farm until April 1866. The elder Mr. and Mrs. Gardner then came to Schuyler county and three years later Mr. Gardner followed. Mr. Gardner was a soldier. He enlisted June 1, 1861 in Company K, 24th Regiment, O.V.I for three years. He was discharged March 30, 1862 owing to
