He was my great-grandfather. I also have information on Silas Gardiner, Mary Jane Beers, and others. It is a wonderful story. My grandfather,Elmer Andrew, came to Laurel, Mississippi to help found the Gardiner-Green Lumber Company, a titan in its times. Contact me and I'll provide you with documents. I also have a photo which may be of Mary Jane Beers.
