The following is a history of Gladys Maloy Carpenter (youngest daughter of Marion Daniel and Ada Lee Maloy). Her family was brought into the church by Henry Gardner. I was introduced to this story by relatives of the Maloys who searched out Henry Gardner's grave in Spanish Fork, and happened to be there at the same time my sister was visiting the graves of our Gardner relatives this past Memorial Day.
