"THE LATE REV. WILLIAM A. GARDNER. [sketch portrait]

REV. WILLIAM A. GARDNER, who for years was a prominent figure of the Christian church of this city, died at Watsonvllle yesterday afternoon. He had gone there for a visit. Rev. Mr. Gardner came to this city in 1886 in answer to a call to the position of State evangelist of the Christian church of California, and in that capacity he visited nearly every part of the State and became well known wherever the Christian church had been established. He founded three churches in Humboldt County and then located in Woodland, where he established another church. In 1893 he came to this city permanently as pastor of the West Side Christian Church, and this position he held until in 1898, his health failing him, he resigned and took a trip to the Hawaiian Islands. He was gone a little more than a year, and returned last February weaker than when he left. He went at once to Watsonvllle, where he died.

Mr. Gardner was born in Michigan in 1846. He served in the ranks of the Federal army during the rebellion, and at 25 years of age he entered the ministry. He leaves a wife and four children."
