WILLIAM GARDNER
[Welland Telegraph April 24, 1903]
On Thursday morning at his residence on Morrison street the death of William Gardner, an old and highly esteemed citizen of this town, took place after a brief illness. Mr Gardner had been in his usual health until Wednesday evening, when he was suddenly stricken with apoplexy and notwithstanding all that medical skill could do, he rapidly sank until death came about two o’clock the following morning. The deceased has been a resident of this town for many years, and had occupied various positions of public trust. He had been identified with the railway bridge in this town since 1855, and occupied the position of inspector. He was also employed in the construction of the bridge over the Niagara at Queenston. Mr Gardner was for many years a member of the fire department, and was also an enthusiastic Oddfellow, having been a member of Niagara Falls Lodge and then encampment since their inception here, and was treasurer of that order since 1868. He leaves to mourn his loss a widow and large family, in whom the sympathy of many warm friends will be extended.
