- Obadiah Gardner was an American politician from the U.S. state of Maine. Gardner was a businessman and member of the Democratic Party who served in several minor state executive positions before serving a single six-year term in the United States Senate. Gardner was born near Port Huron, Michigan. In 1864 he moved with his parents to Union, Maine, where he attended public schools. He studied at Eastman's Business College in Poughkeepsie, New York and later at the Coburn Classical Institute in Waterville, Maine. After graduating he engaged in the agriculture business, including ventures in lumber, lime, and creameries in Rockland and cattle raising elsewhere. He was a member of the Maine Board of Agriculture and later the master of the Maine State Grange (1897–1907). In 1908, he launched an unsuccessful campaign to become Governor, losing to Republican candidate Bert M. Fernald. In 1911, he was appointed as chairman of the Board of State Assessors, but resigned after being appointed and later elected Senator, filing the vacancy caused by the death of William P. Frye. Gardner served from September 23, 1911, until March 3, 1913, when he lost his bid for re-election. Following this defeat, he was appointed a member of the International Joint Commission created to prevent disputes between Canada and the United States over shared boundary waters. Later he became chairman of the American delegation, serving until his retirement in 1923. Gardner returned to Rockland and later moved to Augusta, where he died. He is interred in the Achorn Cemetery in Rockland.
- Obadiah Gardner war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker, der den Bundesstaat Maine im US-Senat vertrat. Der in Michigan geborene Obadiah Gardner zog mit seinen Eltern im Jahr 1864 nach Maine, wo sich die Familie in Union niederließ. In diesem Ort besuchte er die öffentlichen Schulen, ehe er seine Ausbildung an Studieneinrichtungen in Poughkeepsie und Waterville fortsetzte. Nach seinem Abschluss betätigte er sich in der Landwirtschaft. Unter anderem handelte er mit Bauholz und Kalk; er war aber auch in der Viehzucht aktiv. Später wurde Gardner Mitglied im Landwirtschaftsausschuss von Maine sowie Präsident (Master) der Maine State Grange. Dies war die Unterabteilung der National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry in seinem Staat, einer genossenschaftlichen Organisation der amerikanischen Landwirte. 1908 bewarb er sich dann um das Amt des Gouverneurs von Maine, doch er unterlag dem Republikaner Bert M. Fernald. Im Jahr 1911 erfolgte die Berufung zum Vorsitzenden des Board of State Assessors, doch diesen Posten legte Gardner nieder, nachdem er als Nachfolger des verstorbenen William P. Frye zum US-Senator ernannt worden war. Er nahm seinen Sitz in Washington ab dem 23. September 1911 ein, bewarb sich danach erfolglos um die Wiederwahl und musste somit am 3. März 1913 wieder aus dem Senat ausscheiden. Nach dieser Niederlage wurde er Mitglied der International Joint Commission, die den Auftrag hatte, Unstimmigkeiten zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada über die Nutzung der gemeinsamen Grenzgewässer zu klären. Später hatte er dort den Vorsitz der US-Delegation inne, bis er 1923 in den Ruhestand ging.
