 Includes NotesNotes for Raymond Haps Gardner Sr.:
Raymond Haps Gardner was born to Theodore Haps and Lucy (Gardner) Haps August 30, 1893. His parents were separated, Lucy and Raymond living back with her parents. When Lucy died, (as yet I have found no information as to when her death occured), Raymond remained with his Maternal Grandparents, Charles and Mary (Bolin) Gardner. They raised Raymond, using the surname of 'Gardner' for him instead of Haps. Thus, Raymond Haps Gardner.
He died at his home on Dec. 4th, 1941 at the age of 48, and was buried at Valhalla Gardens of Memory Cemetery, Belleville, Il., on Dec. 7th, 1941, (the day Pearl Harbor was bombed). From all imformation I have, it seems my grandfather died of Heart Failure, as my mother described his condition as "Dropsy", the normal description of Congestive Heart Failure for those times. His remains were handled by Woodside Funeral Home.
Raymond Haps Gardner had worked for Missouri-Pacific Railroad (Mo-Pac) as a division clerk.
