LAKE CITY GRAPHIC  27 FEBRUARY, 1920 PAGE 1 COLUMN 6
MRS. S.M. GARDNER CALLED TO REWARD
RESIDED HERE FOR MORE THAN HALF CENTURY-SUFFERED FROM CANCER THIRTY YEARS.
   Mrs. S. M. Gardner, who had been a sufferer at the local hospital for
several weeks, died at that place on Sunday, Feb. 22, from cancer, from 
which she had been a sufferer for more than 30 years.
   Susan M. Dorrance was born at Otisco Center, N.Y., March 15, 1842, and 
was 78 years of age. She was married to James E. Gardner July 4, 1860, 
and they resided in this city since that time. Mr. Gardner died about 26 
years ago.
Three children survive, Will and Ira of this city and one daughter, Mrs. 
C.S. David of Dayton, Ohio, and two brothers, Z.W. Durrance of Duluth and  
John H. Durrance of Allenberg, Wash., also survive.
   She was a member of the Baptist church of this city. The many friends
deplore her passing, but as she was a most patient sufferer from the dread
disease for so many years, all know that her sufferings are over and that 
she is at rest.
   Services were conducted at the Fitschen chapel Tuesday afternoon, Rev. 
J.D. Wylie officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in the family 
lot in Lakewood cemetery.
