Norfolk Journal and Guide, Oct 2,1943
Norfolk - Death came Sunday to Mrs. Priscilla Gardner just as she had prayed 
publicly for it to come many times - while she was worshipping in her 
church.

For just at the close of service Sunday morning, September 19 at the First 
Baptist Church, Campostella, of which the Rev. Robert Harris is pastor, Mrs. 
Gardner, after having testified, suddenly collapsed and died before medical 
aid could be obtained.

Mrs. Gardner, who was a well known citizen of the Southside, had been a 
member of the First Baptist Church for more than thirty-five years, and was 
a devout member, taking an active part in all its affairs.

A strange incident about her death is that she had spoken publicly many 
times that she hoped her end would come in the “First Baptist Church.”

Mrs. Gardner is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Maggie Baker, and a son, Arthur 
Whitmore, and several other adopted children. Funeral services will be held 
Sunday at 2 o’clock at the First Baptist Church, Campostella.
