The autobiographical section provides limited vital details and extensive stories and anecdotes of Robert Winslow Gardner’s life. He tells very little of his family life or his family members. The biographical section, written after his death, provides several additional stories about Mr. Gardner, and mentions his development of hydriodic acid (“Gardner’s Syrup”), for which he is most well known. The biography concludes with a Genealogy detailing his descent from John Gardner of Ballmony, North of Ireland, and ends with vital details of his marriage, his wife and four children.
Second Generation
2. Mary Adelia Gardner2 (Adelia1), born 9 March 1861 in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey;1 died 23 February 1887 in Bloomfield, Essex County, New Jersey.1 Mary married, 27 December 1882 in Plainfield, Union County, New Jersey, George Alexander Hallock1 (born ____, parents not determined).

4. Dr. Edward Winslow Gardner2 (Adelia1), born 30 December 1875 in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey;1, 2, 3 died 11 December 1913.4 Edward married, 14 February 1901 in Bergen County, New Jersey, Marie A. Palmer13, 14, 15 (born 14 March 1876 in New York, New York, the daughter of Theodore Johnson Palmer and Mary Christina Earle;3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Marie died 5 November 1974 in Cobalt, Middlesex County, Connecticut6). Marie is buried in Hackensack Cemetery, Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey.6

Dr. Gardner traveled several times to Europe, in 1908, 1910, and 1911, likely in connection with his work as a chemist/pharmacist. He also traveled in the U.S., as mentioned in a brief article in August, 1909:16, 17, 18

Dr. Edward W. Gardner, of Orange, who is making an automobile tour through the White Mountains, was at Manchester, Vt., yesterday.19

After Edward’s death, his wife Marie also traveled several times to Europe. On her passport application in 1922, she names her husband as Edward W. Gardner, “died February 1910 in Orange, NJ.” This is contradicted by Edward’s listing in the passenger list in August 1911. It seems likely that Marie was confusing Edward’s death with that of his father, which was in February 1911 in Orange, NJ. In fact, Edward’s obituary, listed in several newspapers, shows that he died on 11 February 1913 in Twilight Park, New York. One version appears below:4, 20

Edward W. Gardner

Edward Winslow Gardner, son of the late Robert W. Gardner of Bloomfield, died last Thursday [11 December 1913] at Twilight, N.Y. He was a chemist and took charge of the chemical plant of his father in Orange on the latter’s death three years ago. He is survived by his wife, his mother, Mrs. R. W. Gardner, and a brother, Robert H. Gardner, both the latter of Bloomfield. Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at the home of his mother, 50 Broad Street, Bloomfield.

The various obituaries for Edward consistently omit a mention of his son Edward Theodore Gardner, who was about six years old when Edward died. Also, his wife Marie is never named, and his funeral was from his mother’s home, not his wife’s. It seems possible that Edward was separated or estranged from his wife, which would explain the artifacts in his obituary, his frequent travels alone, absence of his listing in the 1910 census with his family, and his death in New York, far from home.


Child of Dr. Edward Winslow Gardner and Marie A. Palmer:

+5i. Edward Theodore Gardner, born 14 March 1907 in New Jersey; died 2 February 1994 in Dennis, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Married Mary Elizabeth Johnson.
