E. F. GARDINER IS DEAD.
E. F. Gardiner died at St. Joseph's hospital, Kansas City, Tuesday, July 17th at 12:20 a.m.; the immediate cause of death was acute gangrene. His illness began about June 25 and was accompanied by severe pain in his side. Dr. W. G. Martin was called in attendance and Miss Carrie Hull was installed as nurse. As the case developed, diagnosis proved it to be appendicitis and he grew gradually worse. Tuesday, July 10, accompanied by Dr. Martin and W. M. Gardiner he went to St. Joseph hospital where an operation was performed, Wednesday, by Drs. Martin and Griffith. The operation discovered that gangrene had already set in and at no time after the operation was there hardly any chance for recovery. Sunday his condition was slightly improved but it was only a temporary rally. Through Monday there was a perceptible sinking and Monday night, just as the old day was blended into the new, surrounded by his mother and brother, Murt, and a priest and Sisters of the Holy Order he died as he had lived-patient, uncomplaining; with a smile and a last farewell he took up his cross and began the journey to the infinite beyond. The remains were taken to Wagner's undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. The funeral party arrived at Winchester Tuesday evening and funeral services conducted by Elder H. E. Ballou and Rev. E. L. Raines was held at the Church of Christ Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 and the remains were interred in the Wise cemetery. As the flower decked coffin lay in its narrow bed, the beautiful and impressive service of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows marked the last tribute to his ashes.
OBITUARY.
Francis Elmer Gardiner was born July 24, 1873, on a farm three and one half miles southeast of Winchester and lived to within one week of completing his twenty seventh year. He was the third son born to James T. and Mary J. Gardiner and was one of a family of six brothers. His father died in 1879 and his mother and family removed to Winchester, where he has lived all his life. In his boyhood days, he attended the village school in winter and worked as a farm hand in summer. At the age of sixteen, he had saved some money and purchased a restaurant stock, which business, with the exception of one year, he has been engaged in ever since. In the summer of 1894 he suffered a severe attack of illness from which he never fully regained his former constitution. In 1897, he traded his business to Bert Duncan and a year later he traded for the restaurant of E. C. Brown, which he removed to his own property and conducted until his death. In the summer of 1899, he, in company with Ollie Curry, took an overland trip to the mountains of Colorado and was gone two and one-half months, returning greatly benefited in health. In infancy, he was baptized into the Roman Catholic church and died firm in that faith. He was a member of Winchester lodge 172 Independent Order of Odd Fellows. E. F. Gardiner was characterized by his great gentleness of disposition, his patience through every trial of life, his simplicity, honesty and goodness toward mankind and his devotion to his mother. Perfection is beyond the scope of mortal man; but his imperfections are buried beneath the clod that rests upon his bosom and a lively recollection of his virtues will be ever cherished.
