David Cottrell Gardiner was born in the town of Richmond, R. I., July 10, 1821, and died at Nile, N. Y., March 20, 1896.
Very early in life he was left an orphan. When in his 18th year he removed, with the family of an aunt with whom he lived, to West Genesee, N. Y. Here he was baptized by Eld. Henry P. Green, and joined the Second Genesee Church.
In November, 1842, he married Sarah R. Green, who died seven years later, leaving three children: Theodore L., now of Salem, W. Va.; Lucy E., wife of Paul B. Clarke, of Hammond, La.; and Sarah G., wife of Rev. D. H. Davis, of Shanghai, China.
In 1850 he married Floretta A. Robertson, who bore him four children: Louisa, wife of Rev. Horace Stillman, of Ashaway, R. I.; Mertie M., wife of Wm. H. Rogers, of Plainfield, N. J.; and Eva and Charles R., who are still at home.
His brothers, Dea. William Gardiner of Nile, and Rev. Simeon Gardiner of Vermont, are the only survivors of a family of eight children.
During his last sickness, which was protracted and very painful, he suffered as few are ever called to suffer, yet he bore it all with quiet resignation, waiting patiently for his release.
He was a hard-working, reliable Christian farmer, and will be greatly missed in our church and community. He did not amass property. He was never prominent in public affairs. The schools voted him no degrees of titles of honor, and yet all who knew him do not hesitate to say that David Gardiner's life was eminently successful. The funeral was held at the Nile church, all the family being present except Mrs. Clarke and Mrs. Davis. Burial at Mt. Hope Cemetery. G. B. S.
