General Notes: Husband - John Jordan
He passed his boyhood days in the district school and at work on the home place. As time passed on, and his father was laid to rest, and the son inherited the homestead. He came to own 206 acres of very fertile and well-conditioned land. Mr. Jordan at his earliest opportunity erected a fine new house, barns and outbuildings. He set out new and carefully-selected orchards, and made other improvements. The raising of high-grade stock always claimed his attention.
He was a supporter of the Democratic party, and held many places of trust of a public nature, among them the offices of assessor, auditor, overseer of the poor and judge of election. The Presbyterian Church numbered him among its regular attendants and most liberal supporters.
