General Notes: Husband - Albert Jordan


He was reared to agricultural pursuits. He received his education in the schools of his neighborhood, attended the Dayton Academy, and later took a course of study in Duff's Business College, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in 1884. After his graduation he served for a time as the bookkeeper of the First National Bank at Punxsutawney, of which he later became a director and stockholder. Up until in October, 1897, when he moved to Punxsutawney, where he kept a dry-goods, shoe and bargain store, he resided on the old family homestead, on which he carried on general farming. After the death of his father he had the entire charge of the farm. In 1839 his father built a sawmill on the place, and for more than fifty years afterward, there was a mill on the property. In 1876 his father, his brother, C. B. Jordan, and himself built a mill on Camp run, which the three conducted until the father's death, and after that up until 1895, when they ceased operations and closed out the business, it was carried on by the two brothers. Albert also owned a fine stock farm in the state of Nebraska. He was a man of intelligence, fond of traveling, and was prominent in the progressive movements of the locality where his life was spent. Politically he was a Republican, and in his religious views he adhered to the faith of the Presbyterian Church. He belonged to John Jenks Lodge No. 534, F. and A. M., at Punxsutawney.
