AN OLD LADY DEAD----
 
Sunday Morning at ten o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 
W. H. Johnson, occurred the death of Mrs. Martha Gardner.  She 
had spent most of her time the past year with her son, Charlie 
Gardner, near Godfrey, but had been at Mrs. Johnson's several 
weeks before her death.
 
The remains were interred beside her husband, William Gardner, 
at Harmony church, in Putnam county, Monday afternoon, the 
services being conducted by Rev. R. B. Bolton.  The pall bearers 
were her sons and Messrs.  W. C. Reagan and J. B. Harris.
 
The deceased was born in Jones county, GA. Feb. 9, 1840.  She had 
an only sister, Miss Mary Reese, who died while young.  Mrs. Evie 
Ingram, mother of Mrs. John Ingram, was her half sister.  She also 
had four half brothers.  She was the last member of her family.  Her 
husband William Gardner, died over thirty years ago, and a son, Joe, 
died a year or two ago.
 
She is survived by five daughters and four sons:  Mrs. W. B. Wallis, 
of Putnam county, Mrs. W. B. Johnson, of Madison, Mrs. R. W. Curtis 
of Burlington, B. C. and Emmett Gardner, of Atlanta.  Charlie Gardner, 
of Godfrey, Mrs. W. H. Zachry, of Buckhead, John Gardner of Buckhead, 
Mrs. Genie Freeman, of Atlanta, and Ben Gardner of Columbia, SC.
 
She was a member of the Baptist Church for over fifty years and 
was a pious, consecrated Christian woman of the old regime.
