DIED
GARDNER--In Franktown, Colorado, November 28, Clara, infant daughter of J.F. and Helen Gardner, aged 3 weeks and 2 days
"Dearest Clare, thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."
(Poem by Mark Twain)
We NOTICE that the DIED notice spells her name both ways, CLARE and CLARA, and remember her mother's sister Clara Kelly had died in child birth just 2 years earlier.
There is 1 Unknown broken up headstone located between James Gardner and his wife Helen J. Knox-Gardner. It is also listed on the 1970/2000 map as "Unknown"
Helen Knox-Gardner
We have 4 good reasons to believe this is where the "6th child" of Helen's and J.F.'s was laid to rest.
#1 the "DIED" notice 1872
#2 the broken headstone between Helen and Frank Gardner
#3 the name they chose for their daughter born November 5 1872, just 2 years after Helen's sister, CLARA Kelly died

ACCORDING to the 1900 census Helen gave birth to 6 children and 5 living in 1900.

Citing this Record:
"United States Census, 1900," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQM3-J7P : accessed 27 September 2015), Helen Gardner in household of J F Gardner, Precincts 5, 7, 11-12, parts of 2-3, 6, 14 West Castle Rock (west portion) Castle Rock town, Douglas, Colorado, United States; citing sheet 1A, family 11, NARA microfilm publication T623 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.); FHL microfilm 1,240,120.
CHILDREN:
"Eldest"- 1869 Grace (aka:Daisy L.) married Martin Tschudy and resides in Park County, Colo.
Grace Gardner-Tschudy Died:1928
1871 Frederick J. "oldest son", was married to Emily J. Cantril in Franktown by J.F. Gardner/lived at La Junta, Colo. Josiah Fred GardnerBuried in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Castle Rock, Douglas County. DIED:1962
1876 Lillian M., wife of Daniel J. Murphy lived in Denver. And then they are found listed on census records thru 1930, in Buchanan, Missouri. Their son Franklin is married and living there as well,but he moved to Iowa then California and he died and is buried there .Lillian
1879 Lacey married Ernest Goodding/resided in Castle Rock;
moved to Missouri where Ernest was born and they had a daughter Grace, who had a daughter,Imogene. The 1940 census they are living next door to each other in New Mexico.
Lacie Gardner-Goodding DIED: 1963
1888 Edythe H., was the youngest of the family.
1910 Edythe was living in Castle Rock with her mother, Helen. Then in 1911 She married John C. Moore. They lived in Castle Rock all of their lives. They had 2 daughters, Helen/Jacqueline. After John died 1929, and was laid to rest here in Franktown Cemetery with her family. Edythe owned a Cafe. DIED: 1975 Edythe Gardner-Moore Edythe's husband
John C. Moore is buried here in Franktown Cemetery.
Researchers have said, "Fredrick is the oldest son."
The GRACE listed on the 1870/80 census age:1/11 1870 only child. 1880 Grace/Lillian/Fred L./Lacie just 4 kids.
1885 state census they list a Daisy L. age:16, same age as Grace is. But Grace is not listed and she did not get married until 1889. Conclusion: Grace/Daisy L. are aka.
So the data found, noted above, I believe proves this is their child, a Gardner.
