General Notes: Husband - Arnold Gardner

---

When about twelve years of age he began to learn the tanner's trade in his father's yard, and in his youth obtained a good common school education. In 1838, in company with Charles Kettlewell, he rented the York Sulphur Springs from the Robert Oliver heirs for six years, and at the expiration of the lease he bought one-half interest in the springs from J. Boggs, and conducted and superintended the same for nine years. Under his administration they became a success and a popular resort. He accommodated as many as 150 guests, and some seasons had to find accommodations for some of his patrons in the neighboring farm houses. At the end of the nine years he sold out his interest, and thereafter lived retired, with the exception of settling some estates occasionally. He had an elegant residence, erected by himself in 1859, a beautiful veranda alone costing $900; the yard and lawn were finely kept, and ornamented with pieces of statuary and works of art. Mr. Gardner was a thorough Republican, though never an office seeker.
