General Notes: Husband - Michael Jordan


When the pioneer school had done as much for him as it was able, he became a young farmer, but was also interested extensively in the buying and selling of horses, cattle, sheep, etc., and at one period was successfully engaged in the mercantile business. His was a well-rounded, vigorous character, and his energies intelligently directed always brought him wealth and a further rise in his station; money once acquired became the nucleus of a larger amount, and kept on increasing indefinitely. He spent all of his life in Washington township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.
