A E Gardner, 1924 to 1926, Pittsburg, Kansas
« on: Saturday 25 August 12 09:51 BST (UK) »
Have just found a grave headstone for:

    "AE Gardner  1924 to 1926"

within a group of six burial plots in Mount Olive cemetery, Pittsburg, Kansas, which looks totally out of place. 

The burial plots are for the Gardner family but the parents Sarah & Robert died in 1941/42 at ages 85 & 75 respectively so unlikely parents in 1924.  Their one son died in 1915 and their daughter who was married (Viola Gedney) died in 1924.

Does anyone have access to the Kansas 1925 census that could possibly look for this AE Gardner.

You might request a copy of the burial card--they sometimes give relationships to the owner of the plot.

The information I have came direct from the Pittsburg Parks & Gardens dept.  The operations manager actually took the photo's for me (I live in the UK) so I believe I have all the information that is availble from that end.

Had a quick glance and couldn't see any A E Gardner born 1924   :(

Since some of the Gardners died in Missouri but were buried in Kansas, have you looked for a Missouri Death Certificate?

The website seems to be down at the moment.
