Cambridge City Tribune - February 1938
Squire Gard Cronthwaite was born near Trenton, Butler county, Ohio, November 10 
1855, and died February 11 1938. He was the third child of Robert L. 
Cornthwaite and Mary Good Cornthwaite.

When he was five years old the family moved to a farm about five miles 
southeast of Milton, Indiana.

On October 1, 1879, he was united in marriage to Clara Kimmel, daughter of Wm. 
and Vashti Kimmel, pioneer residents of Milton. This union was blessed by four 
children, Arthur, Lenna, who died in 1927, Zoa and Lowell. From these four 
children have descended seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

In the year 1898 he forsook the farm and set up a blacksmith shop beside the 
old Whitewater canal in Cambridge City. In this business he was successful and 
continued this trade until a few years ago, when failing health caused him to 
retire.

He is mourned by many friends who knew him as Squire and a grand old man.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian church, Rev. J. 
C. Smith in charge. Burial in Riverside cemetery.
