Notes:
From Marilynn Masten's notes: Rufus Webb Gardner was a remarkable man. His mother died while he was yet a young boy leaving him and a number of other small children to be reared by their father. His father was a poor man, but by the shear force of will, courage and determination, Rufus became one of Cleveland County's foremost citizens. He taught public school. He organized Pleasant Grove Baptist Church and was Clerk and Deacon from the date of orgination until a few year before his death. As Justice of the Peace, he was called upon to draft many wills, deeds, mortages, and other legal instruments. Being a leader in his church and community he took an active interest in all matters effecting the betterment and welfare of the community and county where he lived.
