Capt. J. H. Gardner  Answers
' to the Last Muster Roll.
One by one the survivprs of the
boys-in blue, who offered their all for
country and flag and for the preservation-of the Union in the* great crisis of
'61-'65, are being mustered into that
great army Tn that unknown land beyond; the reach of mortal ken. Last
Saturday it was the turn of Capt.
* John &. Gardner of this city and with
quiet bravery be |bade adieu to. comrades and loved ones* and was mustered into the army of the Great
Commander.
Capt. Gardner had suffered more or
less ever since he was mustered out- in
1865, from wounds received in battle
especially' an injury to his spinal
column received at VicksburgJ causing paralysis, that finally resulted in
death, and'iie carried that fatal rebel
bullet to his grave.
The'funeral Tuesday in charge of D.
J. Brewer Camp was carried out with
full military honors. JJev. Mr. Coburn
, of Mt. Pleasant preached a short eulogistic sermon at the Baptist church
and then fifty-four old soldiers, with
. Col. W. S. Cooley in command, including eighteen from Pat Thomas Camp
at Evart, .headed by the Clare City
Band playing Chopin's Funeral March
escorted the body ol their late comrade to its last resting place in Cherry
- Grove and there at A. Ai Shaver's
bommand, firing the same salute as if
burying' a comrade killed'' in battle,
said their last farewell.
s Outside of the family the following
from a distance ..were present at the
■ funeral: .John Brooks and daughter-
in-law of Shepherd, he an old' soldier
- bihety-one years old and a comrade
, of the Mexican war; Elder McNutt of
Sanford; Charles Butler and Mr. and
Mrs.  Totten of .Mt. Pleasant; from
- Pat. Thomas Camp .at Evart—O. Morton, &.. BPwley, C; Court, D. Farririg-
ton,' H. G. £ietri, J. W. Holmes, C.
Copping,, J., B. Foster,'Oi ^Burton; W.
J. Manley, R. C. Dunn, O. M. Bush,
%,, A. Bisbee, S. E. Xlrby.    *    « -
Capt. Gardner's life story is inseparably interwoven with the struggles
and 'crises of the nation.' Born in
Fayette county, Pennsylvania, he
there spent the early days of childhood and youth. Moving to Salem,
Ohio, in the'vigor of manhood he enlisted for the Mexican war of 1846-M8
and in the tropical climate of the land
of the Montezumas, under the command of Jefferson Davis, served valiantly, receiving a wound in the foot.
The war over he returned to the
duties of ordinary citizenship and
again took his place as a mechanic in
the great ariny of industry.
Though serving under Jeff. Davis in
the Mexican'war, he was loyal to the
Union and in 1862 enlisted in Company
Ki of the eightieth Ohio infantry and
was in most of the important battles
of the Army of the West. Not only he
but his two sons, George* and Charles,
fought-in the Great Rebellion. He
served not a little under General
Logan and was in that terrible though
decisive three-days' battle 'of Vicks-
burg, receiving the wound that affected his spinal column and finally
resulted in his death. During the
war he also received a wound in the
breast" and one in "the face. But
through all the hardships and privations of those terrible campaigns, even
though death stared him in the face,
he never faltered in his patriotism.
His bravery and general worth received recognition in his promotion to
captain and through the years since
he has always'been known by that
title., Since the war he has always
been a loyal supporter .of the &. A. E.,
occupying many of the. offices, including commander. He was also a emem-
ber of.D. J. Brewer Camp.
In 1888 Capt. Gardner movfid to
Isabella county and located on a. farm
south of Clare. ITor the past ten years
he has resided in Clate. Eight children survive: .George of Seats,
Charles of Evart, Richard of .Sherman
City, John of Coleman, W. T. on the
old farm south of Clare, Mrs. O. Buck-
ius of Bay City, Mrs, John Buckius of
New Philadelphia, Ohio, .atidi Mrs.
"Wm. Crawford of Olare, all of whom
with ten grandchildren were present
at the funeral, Not only these but
four other ■ grapdchildren and' eight
greatgrandchildren also survive.
• The life of Capt. Gardner'speaks for
itself. A true patriot, a faithful husband and father, he exemplified those
qualities of manhood that make for
good citizenship. Endowed by nature
with a robust constitution, no word
of complaining, as to his ailments resulting from the wounds of battle,
ever escaped his lips. Devoted to the
wife who has so faithfully shared with
him the responsibilities of home as the
years silently passed, the memory of
his worthy life is now a consolation to
her left to mourn his departure. His
was a kindly, genial disposition and,
though dead, his life's work will live
in the lives of others, for he was one
of the heroes who offered his yfe to
save his country.

IMPROVEMENT
OF ROADS.
Secretary Warner Says Uncle Sam Should Help.
WILL   APPEAL  TO THE   CONGRESSMEN FOR ASSISTANCE.
Believes   Rural   Postal   Carriers
Should be better Paid.
Secretary of State Fred M. Warner,
candidate for the Eepublican nomination for governor of Michigan, believes that greater activity should be
shown by the officials of this state to
bring about the improvement of roads.
He makes an appeal for betterment
of the highways through the aid of
the national government, and adds an
appeal for better pay for the rural. delivery carriers, who have to use the
roads. -To this end he will appeal to
all the Michigan congressmen and senators to use their influence to bring
about a national system of road improvement, and to secure for tne rural
carriers at least as much money as
is given to the city carriers for horses,
which the country carriers have to
supply themselves.
Mr, Warner, who was in Detroit for
a short time recently said:
, "X think the good roads question is
one of the most important to be considered by the people of this state.
Where the present system has proved
to be a failure, I believe changes
should be made at Once, which should
result in much better roads with no
additional expense to taxpayers.
The laws of the several states which
have already adopted the good roads
system should be carefully gone over,
and from the results there obtained,
we should profit. The national government should extend aid to all the
states that take this question up. The
highways of our country are as im-
portantas the'waterways. Many more
of our people would be benefited, and
they are entitled to such assistance,.
"JBetter roads would be a great advantage to the free rural delivery system. On account of the efficient work
of our Michlganjcongressmen,, at present we have over 1,000 rural carriers,
who cover daily 25,000 miles of road",
serving in the neighborhood of 500,000
people*   Good roads will be a great
benefit to this arniy of carriers, who
today are among the poorest paid men
of Uncle Sam's employ. City carriers
are paid from $800 to $1,000 a year and
they are allowed 8300 extra for keeping horse, rigs, etc. The rural carriers are at least entitled to this $300
extra, for they not only do not have
paved streets to drive upon, .but they
are generally compelled to have two
horses to do their work.
"We-should all insist that out congressmen urge this matter. I have no
doubt tbe Michigan delegation would
be only too glad to take this matter
up and, 1 trust, with good results.
,1 have talked with a number, of the
rural carriers about this matter, and
they all feel that they are badly used
in the matter of pay. All they receive Is $600 a year, and by the time
they pay for the care of two horses
out of this they have very little left.
Tbey hang onto their jobs simply because they hope for better things in
the future."
