[BL06-01.FTW]
Immediately following the wedding of John and Margery, they, along with Margery's family migrated to Clark Co., IL.
The 1870 US Census is the first census on which John Gardner appears as a head of household. By this time he was married and had moved from Ohio to Illinois. He is listed with his family in Martinville Twp., Martinsville P.O., Clark Co., IL (p 401, dwelling 197). Those listed: John B. Gardner, age 32, farmer, born OH; Margery [Gilbert], 25, keeping house, OH; John, 7, IL, (attended school within the year); Adam [Adam Noah Gardner], 5, IL; William, 3, IL; and Sarah, 1, IL. In addition, there are 4 other persons residing in the household: Phillip Sanig [sp?], 26, farm laborer, OH; Wesley Beard, 33, farm laborer, IN; George Brenner, 19, farm laborer, IL; and Rebecca Brenner, 17, domestic servant, IL (she could not read or write). These last four are most likely boarders of some sort. John is listed as having only $1000 in personal property and no listing is giving for the value of his real estate. So, it is unlikely he could afford 3 laborers and a domestic servant. Instead, they were likely boarders living with the family.
In 1880, John and family are now living in York Twp. in Clark Co., IL (E.D. 45, p 4, dwelling 39). Those listed: John B. Gardner, age 41, farmer, born OH (as were both his parents); Margie [Margery], 34, wife, keeping house, born OH (as were both her parents); Allie [or Allen], 17, son, farmer, in school, b. OH; Adam, 15, son, farmer, in school, IL; Wm. [William], 13, son, farmer, in school, IL; Lizzie, 11, daughter, at home, in school, IL; Eddie, 9, son, in school, IL; Emma, 2, daughter, IL.
1) John lists both his parents as born in OH, but from previous censuses we know his mother, Nancy Brister, was born in VA.
In Feb. of 1888 John and Margery along with their children (all except Adam Noah), moved to Otero Co, CO where they "homesteaded" land. John claimed 160 acres, his son Willie claimed 160 acres, and John's son-in-law Will Lewis (husband of Sarah Elizabeth "Lizzie" Gardner) claimed 160 acres. The family wrote back to Adam Noah Gardner in IL and convinced him to come West and claim another 160 acres, which would give the family a large 640 parcel of land. When Adam and family arrived a measles epidemic had swept through the family (see "The Gardner Story") which had killed Willie Gardner and and would claim the life of Lizzie just a few days later. Will Lewis abandoned his claim, and Adam Noah took over Willie's claim.
On Sept. 18, 1891 the General Land Office of the US Bureau of Land Management (under Pres. Benjamin Harrison) from the Land Office in Pueblo issued patents granting 160 acres each to John B. Gardner and Adam Noah Gardner in Otero Co., CO. John parcel is described as the NE quarter of sect. 23 in township 21-S. Adam's parcel is adjacent to his father's comprising the NW quarter of section 24 in township 21-S. These claims were abandoned in the same year due to poor irrigation.
On the 1900 US Census, John and Margery are living at 241 Carson Ave. in the town of Las Animas, Bent County, Colorado (Precinct #8, E.D. 3, sh. 11). Those listed: John B. Gardner, b. Mar 1839, age 61, b. OH, father b. PA, mother b. OH, "Engineer-stationery"; Margery A., b. June 1845, age 54, b. OH, both parents b. OH. John and Margery have been married 39 years. Margery is listed as having given birth 11 times, with 5 still living. John rents the house in which they live, and he has been working full time in the past year.
The couple's son Adam Noah is living a few pages away on a farm that would be outside of Las Animas.

Following the church services, Silver State Lodge No. 95, A.F.&A.M, assumed charge of their departed brother and acted as an escort to Mt. View Cemetery, where the Masonic burial service was exemplified. The pallbearers were C.C. Buchannan, D.R. Battey, John McNutt, Thomas Taylor, J.D. Evans and W.E. Fletcher. There were a number of friends in attendance from La Junta and a delegation from the Euclid Lodge No. 64 A.F.&A.M. of La Junta were in attendance. Arrangements were in charge of Davis & Vories."
