The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 12-28-1915
GARDNER, GEORGE
THE SUICIDE OF GEORGE GARDNER.  Inquiry as to the facts connected with the death 
of George Gardner of Kalaheo has developed the statement that he had for a long 
time threatened suicide and had on more than one occasion tried to take his own 
life. He had been afflicted for 18 years with a stomach trouble, and although 
frequently urged to do so had refused to undergo an operation. It appears that a 
dog led the way to the body which was hanging to a tree not far from the man's 
house. A man named Kuaa was repairing a fence near the spot. A dog came out of the 
lantana and began to whine. Kuaa threw a stone or stick at the animal, when the 
dog ran back to the tree and continued his strange actions. Kuaa went forward to 
investigate and found the body hanging there. Gardner was a son-in-law of Mr. and 
Mrs. William Kruse of Eleele, and the father of 11 children. He lived and worked 
on the island of Hawaii several years and returned to Kauai only a few years ago 
to take up homesteading at Kalaheo.
