     § 1432- CHARLES COLSON GARDINER, 8 (John Rhodes Gardiner,7; Eu— 
     
     nice Hazard, 6; Thomas, 5 ; Jonathan, 4; Thomas, 3 ; Robert, 2 ; Thomas, I), 
     
     was born at Centreville, Prince Edward Island, September 10, 1835; he married, 
     
     first, September 22, 1868, Martha, daughter of J. B. Cox, Esq'. She died June 
     
     29, 1869. He married second, at Piétou, Nova Scotia, November 25, 1873, 
     
     Lucy Narraway. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Gardiner received his preliminary education at Centreville, and afterward 
     
     spent two years at Mount Alison Academy, Sackville, New Brunswick. In 1854 
     
     he entered a mercantile house in Charlottetown, where he remained till the sum- 
     
     mer of 1856. In that year he went to California, and engaged in gold—mining un~ 
     
     til the spring of 1858. At that time great excitement sprang up about the new 
     
     Eldorado in the country then owned and controlled exclusively by the Hudson 
     
     Bay Company. Mr. Gardiner determined to try his fortune at the new mines, and 
     
     accordingly proceeded to San Francisco, and took passage up the coast to Port— 
     
     land, Oregon, went thence across the country to Whatcome on Bellingham Bay, 
     
     and, with a company of five others, started in a canoe for Fraser River, where 
     
     the mines were said to be richest. On arriving at their destination, Mr. Gardiner 
     
     and his friends, by prospecting, found gold in many places; but the appliances 
     
     at their disposal were so ineffectual that all hope of getting the precious metal in 
     
     paying quantities was abandoned. Accordingly they determined to return to Ca1— 
     
     ifornia, which, after experiencing much toil and incurring many dangers, they 
     
     succeeded in doing. 
     
    

    
     In 1860, Mr. Gardiner returned to his home and went into business at Centre- 
     
     ville. In 1870 he bought a farm near Charlottetown, where he built a comforta~ 
     
     ble residence and other buildings, and remained there till 1877, when he sold his 
     
     property, and since has lived as a gentleman of leisure, occasionally visiting Cal- 
     
     ifornia and Europe. When in Rome, Mr. Gardiner and his wife had the honor 
     
     of being presented to His Holiness, Leo XIII. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Gardiner has for many years taken an active interest in all matters pertain- 
     
     ing to the welfare of the agriculturists of the country, particularly in the de— 
     
     partment of live stock. In this connection, his name is known far beyond the 
     
     Maritime Provinces, and he has been appointed, and has acted for many years, 
     
    
   
   
    
     as an expert judge of live stock at the New England, Bangor and Lewiston fairs 
     
     in Maine.
