Ishmiael Gardner and wife Fannie lived in Rhode Island. They had 3 sons and 1 daughter. About 1858 their two oldest sons came to Hopewell and settled on Sect. 53, which is toward Clifton Springs. The following year James B. Gardner, the 3rd son who was then 14 came with his widowed mother from Rennesleer Co. by way of the Erie Canal. About 1856-7 James bought the farm on the turnpike, Sect. 46 which had been the Lemuel Babcock place, across the road from the Birdseye farm.
James and Emily, his wife had four
children, Fannie who died at the age of 15; Charles, whose
1st wife was Nettie Spangle, 2nd wife Mary Cassort. He died in 1933, leaving no
childrene Sarah, born 1857, and did not marry. William who taught
school for a few yrs. in the home district.
He married Cora Brisee, and they had two
daughters, Irma and Elsie. Both married and
lived in the eastern part of the state. Will became a postal clerk on the railroad, and
they then lived in New York City.
Emily Jane, the one daughter of Ishmael Gardner and sister of James, married James Cassort, son of David Cassort and his wife Sarah Pheips. Their daughter Julia P. Married Dr. Watson W. Archer of Clifton Springs.
Mrs. James Gardner had a flower garden in the south west corner of their front yard, near the road, quite lovely and well kept. Years later, when her son Will was then an elderly man, he sent me this poem or his own composing, which he called "Memories." Prehaps it will be well to enclose it here. The letter was postmarked Flushing, N.Y. and dated June 24,1937.
M-E-M-O-R-I-E-S
A Poem written by Will Gardner,
probably at
around age 70.
I long for the home of my childhood
For my mother, gracious and fair
With her dear smiling face surrounded
by a wealth of soft raven hair.
My mem'ry ever will linger
In the heart of the boy she bore
As she pointed the way to Heaven,
The road to the Everlasting shore.
From early morn to dewey eve,
Her labor and toil was one of love
As she fashioned her gentle life
For that beautiful home above.
How will I remember her love
For her favorite garden of flowers
Where she would wander at eventide
After the toil of drudging hours.
Where the roses seem to brighten,
And respond to her tender care
While the fragrance of mignonette,
Arose, and drifted thru the air.
And the little dark faced pansies,
That near the ststely lilies grew
Each longing for her loving touch
Along with modest violets blue.
But now that home on the old
"turnpike,"
Responds to the tread of other feet
And that dear old fashioned garden
Is simply a mem'ry, soft and sweet.
