Charles Gardner of PA and mystery death of Savallah Mallory
Sallavah Mallory, estranged wife of Frank Mallory, originally of Sutherlin PA, died of a mystery illness shortly (1898) after her married lover JW Mullenhauer, alias william Williams, heir to a NYC sugar fortune visted her home.
Savallah names her mother Elizabeth Leach as an heir and as well as her uncle, Charles Gardner, to who she left property in Westfield Tioga Co PA...property she had received from Henry I Leach....who I believe was her mother's second husband.
She also names Savallah Leach as an heir, and Savallah Leach has a stone with no dates next to Savallah Mallory(4 feb 1853 d 6 Mar 1898 NYC)in the Mt Pleasant Cem Westfield Tioga Co PA.
I have figured out that her husband was Frank Herbert Mallory b 1 Jan 1850 Westfield Tioga co PA.He married in Jamestown NY just a few months after Savallah died, though they had been estranged for 8 years.
Anyone recognize Charles Gardner.....was elizbeth leach his sister?
