General Notes: Husband - Isaac C. Jordan




He was born in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, but his life was mainly spent in Oliver township, Jefferson County, where he owned a large farm. Beginning life in very poor circumstances, he made his own way successfully, and acquired a handsome competence. He was a well-known lumberman, and had several sawmills there and in neighboring townships. His death occurred in McCalmont township, after a brief but severe illness while he was visiting one of his sawmills in which his sons, Charles B. and Albert, were his partners. His remains were taken home for burial, and were interred in Olive cemetery. He was a man of prominence, and for many years was a ruling elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Oliveburg; he also held numerous township offices, and was an influential worker in the Republican party. At one time he was the Republican nominee from the county for the Legislature, but there was a Democratic landslide that year, and although he ran ahead of his ticket he was defeated.
