GARDINIER FAMILY HISTORY New York & Northwest Ohio  |
(Jan 31, 1819 - Jan 5, 1905)  DEATH OF WELL KNOWN PIONEER PREACHER Samuel Gardinier departed this life at the home of his daughter, Jan 5, 1905, at the age of 85 years, 11 months and 5 days. Funeral services were held Saturday the 7th, conducted by Rev. Motter of the M. E. church of Metamora, using as his text for an excellent discourse, 2nd Samuel, 3-38, at Santee Church. (Note: 2nd Samuel, Chapter 3 - 38, And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?) The deceased was born at Root, Montgomery Co., N. Y., in 1819, When 14 years of age he, with his parents moved to what is now known as West Toledo. He was united in marriage with Maria WIGGINS, May 11, 1845. About 1850 they moved to Fulton county, settling on a farm in Royalton township where they resided until the death of his companion in 1880. To this union, 7 children, 4 sons and 3 daughters were born, all of whom, except one son, Bradford, are living. In 1884 he was again united in marriage with Catherine McHENRY, and they resided in Lenawee Co., Mich., until her death in 1890. He was converted to God in early life and joined the Methodist Episcopal church. Shortly after, he became a licensed local minister and was an active worker in preaching the gospel and officiating at many funerals. His last work was preaching a funeral sermon for Mrs. Alice Giffrord, just about three days before his sickness. He was a very useful man in the community in which he lived, by helping and assisting his fellow-men. He was loved and esteemed by all. About 14 years ago he was stricken with paralysis, from which he only partially recovered and remained an invalid. During this time he exercised a cheerful disposition and bore his sickness with patience. His life should be an example to us all. He leaves 6 children, 29 grand-children and 6 great-grand-children, and a host of friends who mourn their loss, which is his eternal gain. (Newspaper clipping, From Ethlyn (MIZER) FINLEY) NOTES: Santee church was located a couple of miles north of US 20 on CR 7 in Royalton Twp., Fulton County, Ohio. Per Aunt Ethlyn (Dot) Finley, Samuel is supposed to be buried in the Jordan cemetery which is on CR RS, just east of SR 109, 1/2 mile north of US 20. There is a tombstone near the south east corner of the cemetery. Dot went there once with Valeda Mizer. They started from the west end, unfortunately, looking for Samuel's tombstone. The tombstone was in the 3rd row from the east end. She said that some of the letters were eroding. The tombstone is for his first wife, Frances Maria Wiggins. The tombstone is inscribed: Frances M. Gardinier, May 10, 1880, Ae 54y- 2d, W/o Samuel Gardinier. She was born May 8, 1826. The tombstone is in row 17, counting from the West end of the cemetery or the 3rd row from the east end.
