General Notes: Husband - William Gardner


He was a merchant of York Springs, Pennsylvania, who began business there when eighteen years of age and continued until fifty-six years old, when he died. Part of the time he did a wholesale trade, and supplied many of the store-keepers in the small towns adjoining. He carried a general stock of everything, even to hoop-poles, and his sales in one year amounted to $50,000. He was probably the most successful merchant that ever did business at York Springs.
