been very crude, and only native work

Obituary

Rec Heights William T.
Gardner was born June 8, 1858, at
Earlville, in LaSalle county. Illinois,
In the year 1860 the family moved to
Black Hawk county, Iowa, not far
from Waterloo, where on his fathers
farm he grew to manhood.
In 1882, at the age OF "a years, he
came to Aurora county, South Da-
kota, and took up a homestead and
tree-claim, near Piankinton. A year
later he disposed Of this tract and
homesteaded land in Suily county,
north of the town of Harold, whence,
in 1884, after making final proof, he
anne to Rec Heights, locating with
his elder brother, Frank r. Gardner,
on land in Spring Hills township.
Here the two conducted farming OPP
erations together for a number OF
years.
Considering that perhaps Montana
might offer a better location, William
#. Gardner went there in the year
1891, but after a year, In which, in
his judgment, he saw nothing prefer
able to what he knew of Hand county,
South Dakota, he returned, and in
partnership with his brother bought
u the only remaining store in Rec
Heights, from Frank Ensign. Under
the firm name of Gardner Brothers,
the two conducted an ever increasing
business for seventeen years. Mean
time, in April, 1895, he was united in
marriage to Anna Wharton, and to
this union was born a son, Harry
Wharton Gardner, in 1896.
In 1909, the pardner business hav-
ing reached considerable proportions,
1t was determined to incorporate, and
accordingly, under the name of the
Rec Mercantile Company, II has been
conducted ever since. William II.
Gardner, as secretary treasurer, was
active in its affairs until a year ago.
He was always strongly active in
church work. He taught a class of
young people in Sunday school con-
t~inuously from earliest recollection
of men and women now almost mid
die aged. This was a labor he loved.
It's results, seemingly so vague and
intangible, were to him definite and
comprehensive. His pupils came and
went, but one have gone without
some grasp of those great Truths
which make life the more worth liv-
ing and its end the easier to meet.
Death came suddenly and quietly
at 1910, the morning Of May 9Th.
He is survived by his wife, Anna,
and son Harry, also three brothers
and one sister: Frank, OF Rec Heights
Of Phoenix, Arizona; Leroy
OF LaPorte City, Iowa, and Mrs.
Henry Rodemar, of Hood River,
Oregon.

Veterans Must
Get Claims in
By AUGUST 9Th
All Who Intend Getting Aid From
Uncle Sam, Now or Later,
Must Secure Certificates of
Injury at This Time.

With only a few days left for dis
ab.ed World War veterans of this dis
trict 20 secure certificates OF injury
L. c. Jesseph, northwest district man
ager of the United States Veterans
Bureau urges those who may seek
government compensation at later
date to make application for these GER
tificates before August 8, expiration
date OF their issuance
"The law governing activities of the
Veterans Bureau states that claims
cannot be filled by disable veterans
after five years from service discharge
unless the claimant has certificate
of injury and these certificates will
not be issued after August g." said Mr.
Jesseph. This simply means that a
veteran discharged from service for
instance On September /, 1917 could
not file claim for government com
pensation September Is Of this year
unless he had the necessary certi
ficate. We are anxious that every vet
eran in Washington, Oregon and Idaho
know of this important ruling"
M. Jesseph stated that the quickest
way of securing this certificate is to
make application for it by letter to
U. s. Veterans Bureau, Washington
