 Abraham Garner
Abraham Garner, formerly of Burlington Junction (Missouri) and well known in
this part of the county, died at the home of his brother-in-law, Peter
Kuntz, in Clarinda, Iowa, Saturday morning (28 Mar 1914) following a long
illness with cancer. Mr. Garner had been unable to take nourishment for more
than a week and his death was not unexpected. He was 47 years, 7 months, and
29 days old.

Abraham Garner was born in Mahaska County, Iowa, July 29, 1865. He was
married to Josephine Ellison, November 3, 1883, in Davis County, Iowa. To
this union three children were born, who with their mother, mourn the loss
of a most kind and devoted husband and father. The children are Pearl
Gardner, Badoran, Minn., Thomas Garner and Mrs. Charles Hackett of Chalk
Butte, S.D.

Sixteen years ago the family moved to Nodaway County (Missouri) and lived in
the vicinity of Burlington Junction for eleven years, during which time the
family made many friends among our people.

About six years ago they moved to Chalk Butte, S.D., near which place they
have since resided.

Several years ago Mr. Garner received a severe bruise on the cheek by a
horse and a few months later while leading a cow the animal's horn struck
him on the same cheek and the injury developed into a cancer. For two years
his health had been declining and in this time he suffered a great deal.

In January Mr. and Mrs. Garner returned to Missouri hoping to find medical
aid but Mr. Garner failed so rapidly that they were unable to return to
their home. His condition grew worse each day until early Saturday morning,
when he passed away. During his illness he was singularly uncomplaining and
patient.

Mr. Garner was converted in early manhood, becoming a member of the United
Brethren church, and he lived a sincere Christian life. He enjoyed meeting
and visiting with old friends and he especially enjoyed hearing the precious
promises read to him from the old Book.

The funeral service was held at the Christian Church in Burlington Junction
at 11 o'clock Sunday, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Jno. W. Love. The
pallbearers were Cal Suttle, Jonathan Graves, W. P. Huston, M.G. Hamilton,
James Weable and W. I. Myrick, all old friends of Mr. Garner. The large
church was filled, showing the high esteem in which the decedent was held in
this community. Burial was made in the Ohio Cemetery (Burlington Junction).
