He was born in Santa Clara County at the old Kenyon homestead on Homestead Road, December 13, 1864, the son of Daniel and Sarah (Kenyon) Gardner, the former born in Ohio, the latter a native of Missouri. Daniel Gardner came in an ox team train to California in 1850, when twenty-three years old, and after spending some time in the mines in Northern California, came on to Santa Clara County in 1853 and settled on part of the Quito Ranch. Later he bought 167 acres on the McCall Road and farmed there; he also set out fifty-five acres of orchard, among the first to set out fruit trees in that section. He died there at the age of eighty-seven years, the mother preceding him about one year at the age of sixty-seven. Grandfather James M Kenyon also brought his family across the plains in the early '50s and was a pioneer of this county. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Gardner were the parents of six children: William S., the subject of our sketch; Frank and Clarence H., deceased: Fred H. resides on a part of the home place as do Mrs. Mattie D. Harmon and Alice M., who became the wife of F. D. Sanders. During the Civil War, Daniel Gardner was a lieutenant of a militia company formed in California but was never called out of the state; he received his commission from Governor Stanford. He was always an adherent of the Republican party. William Sherman Gardner enjoyed the advantages of the public school system in the district of Saratoga, also helping his father on the farm. When he became of age he engaged as a fruit grower and operated a ranch of his own. At Saratoga on June 18, 1890, Mr. Gardner was married to Miss Hattie Smith, also a native of California, born in San Francisco, and the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Smith. Hattie's father was James Harris Ham, a native of Portland, Maine, who came around the Horn to San Francisco in about 1854. A passenger on the same sailing vessel was Miss Harriet Hill Brown, who was born in New Hampshire, and the acquaintance thus made culminated in their marriage in San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner became the parents of four children: Winifred, deceased; Lillian; William Raymond; and Daniel Harris. In religious faith, they are affiliated wit the Congregational Church.
