Sandra - To be honest I haven't a clue to anything concerning Mrs. Gardner. I'm not even sure if she relates through the line whose information I've got, which is the Beneke family of Nashville. From the best I can tell, Minnie Eberhart had a sister Pauline and a brother William who, like her, apparently never married. There was another sister named Sophie, but she died young and left a daughter whose father took her to Maryland before 1913. Whether they ever came back to Nashville, I haven't a clue. It is Minnie's mother's line, Pauline Beneke Eberhart that I have the information on. The only reason I know Mrs. Gardner was a cousin is because she must have had something to do with Minnie's burial. I found Mrs. Gardner's name on a card for Minnie from the Mt. Olivet files microfilmed at the Metro Archives. Unfortunately, that's the best information I have. Thanks for the reply. Ronnie
