  • Notes 
    • Gardner - Jacobina, daughter of Christian and Mary Kropf, was born in Baden, Ont., 1846; died July 18, 1913; funeral services were conducted by J. A. Holdeman of Cedar Point, Kans. She moved with her parents to Fulton Co., Ohio, in 1864, to Davis Co., Ia., in 1867 and to Schuyler Co., Mo., in 1871. She was married to Christian Gardner in 1884 and lived in matrimony for 11 years when death claimed her devoted husband. She united with the Church of God in 1866 and was a faithful member until claimed by death. She was preceded in death by her husband and an only son. She is survived by one daughter, Clara Gardner, 21 years old, 4 step-children, 1 brother and 3 sisters. These and other relatives mourn their loss but not as those who have no hope of a future reunion.

      "May Jesus guide and lead our footsteps,
      In the path our mother trod,
      So when we're called that we shall meet her,
      Around the happy throne of God,"
