James Tiffany GARDNER was born at Attica, New York, March 11th, 1826, and
passed away to his long home at Monroe Center, Adams Co., Wisconsin,
February 15, 1904.

There survives to mourn his loss, his wife, Mrs. Clarissa ELLIS GARDNER,
three children, Mrs. Athelia B. STOWELL of Necedah, Charles C. and James T.
GARDNER, Jr., of Monroe Center; sic grandchildren, Mrs. P. B. GIBSON of
Coloma, Miss Clara B. and Clyde G. STOWELL of Necedah, Gertrude, Hallie and
James Bird GARDNER of Monroe Center; also an elder brother, Oliver GARDNER
of Roche-a-Cri, Wis., 88 years of age.

He possessed quiet and unassuming manners, yet had high and noble
principles, a kind husband, an indulgent father, a true brother, a faithful
and sympathetic friend and neighbor, who never "passed by on the other
side," but always extended a helping hand to those in trouble or
affliction.

His boyhood and early manhood were spent in his native town and vicinity.
In 1868 he with his family removed to Wisconsin, purchased and settled on
the farm where he had continuously lived until called home by death.

The burial was in the quiet cemetery at Monroe. 

"We'll never say good-by in heaven, We'll never say good-by, For in that
land of joy and song, We'll never say good by."
