      William Gardner, aged 87 years, died at the county farm at Hallsville Tuesday morning at about 4 o’clock. He was born at Bellefontaine, Ohio, and came to Illinois when a young man, and has since resided in the vicinity of Hallsville.
      He was married to Miss Mary McClimans, a daughter of David McClimans, who now lives at Clinton. To this union eight children were born, five of whom are living, viz: Mrs. Alive Harrold, of St. Louis; Henry, west of Kenney; Charley, of Wyoming; Mrs. Mollie Craig; of Lincoln; and Edward, of Hallsville.
      Mr. Gardner had made his home at the county farm the past four years. At one time he owned a 160 acre farm near Hallsville. The body was taken to the home of his son Ed on Monday, and the funeral services were held at the Hallsville Christian church at 2:30 o’clock, Elder A. Furman officiating. Interment was made in the McClimans cemetery.
