  Near Exit, in Nansemond county, Va., Feb. 27, 1903, Mr. Edward L. Gardner; 
aged 42 years, 1 month and 5 days.  Bro. Gardner was a great sufferer with 
consumption.  I saw him on Thursday, before he died on Friday, and read and 
prayed with him.  He said he had no fear about the future but he hated to 
leave his wife and little children.  He was a son of Bro. Matthew Gardner. 
He was devoted to his family and was a good neighbor and friend.  He leaves 
to mourn their loss a devoted wife, four children, father, mother, four 
brothers, and many friends.  His funeral services were conducted at his home 
in the presence of many friends and his remains were buried at his father's 
in the family cemetery.                 H.H.B. [Rev. Harrison Holland BUTLER]
