Death of Nelson W. Gardiner
The entire community will be pained to learn that our old and well known citizen, Nelson W. Gardiner, is no more. He died at his residence on the corner of Water and Elm streets, about nine o'clock yesterday morning, after a sort and painful illness, his disease being inflammation of the bowels. Mr. Gardiner was born in Herkimer County, NY, September 20th, 1809, and he was consequently sixty-tow years and five days old at the time of his decease. Although his sufferings were great, he withstood them with Christian fortitude, and his mind remained unclouded till the last. He had been a member of the Methodist Church a from his youth, and ever since the organization of the Redding church in this city one of its most prominent and active members. He was a Christian in every sense of the word, a man of generous impulses, a firm and steadfast friend, a model citizen, the friend of the poor and needy, and in religion as well as in politics stood for the right under every and all circumstances. He always took a deep interest in the political questions, for the day, and up to the organization to the Republican Party was an active member of the Free Soil wing of the Democratic Party. As a Republican he was active and reliable, and did much to advance its interests and uphold its principles. During his long residence in this city, nearly forty years, he has been frequently elected to important county, town, and city offices, and has invariably filled him with intelligence, judgment and integrity. As a business man he prudent, honorable and universally esteemed. Mr. Gardiner came to Elmira in April, 1834, and worked as a journeyman hatter for the late Wm. Hoffman up to July of that year, when he removed to Bath and opened a hat store in that village. He remained there until April 1837 having in the meantime married Miss Elizabeth D. Logan, (who survives him) and then moved back to Elmira, where he embarked in the hatting business with J. S. Hoffman, at the old stand, 117 Water Street. The partnership was dissolved in 1843 and Mr. Gardiner has continued the business at the same place uninterruptedly over since. Mr. Gardner, we think, was the oldest merchant in any one line of business in the city, he having been engaged in the hatting business at the same stand for thirty-four years.
He will be greatly missed in the business as well as social circle, and his death sincerely regretted by all classes of citizens. He leaves a wife and adopted daughter to mourn his loss, who have the heart-felt sympathies of the entire community in their great bereavement. He died only as a Christian can die, with a firm faith in a blessed hereafter, and what is their loss is his gain. His funeral will be attended on Wednesday afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, from his late residence, corner of Water and Elm Streets.
In the Sept 28, 1871 issue of the Elmira Advertise the eulogy that was spoken
at N.W. Gardiner funeral is written full length, very long.
