<< From Bernie -- The Baxter Bulletin February 16, 1923 Issue BOB JORDAN Bob Jordan, a pioneer citizen of this county died at his home in Buford last Thursday, after a short illness from pneumonia. He is survived by his wife and several grown children. Mr. Jordan was a resident of this place for a number of years, having been engaged in the blacksmith business. He moved to Buford several years ago and continued his business there up to the time of his death. He was a highly respected citizen and will be missed by his friends and associates. He was buried at the Fairview cemetery near Buford. Note: Date of death was February 8, 1923. The Baxter Bulletin March 2, 1923 Issue BUFORD The flu hit us hard but is gradually abating; only one death, that of R. C. (G.?) Jordan. Mr. Jordan had lived near Buford bearly all his life. He was a splendid citizen, a good neighbor, honest and industrious and in his daily walk he stood before the community the full measure of a man. I ask because if you'll notice, the death date for this Robert D. Jordan was February 1923, also. >> Vera, S.O.S. -- we need help. As the court of last resort, would you check the Arkansas Death Record Index -- for JORDAN dying in 1923. His mother-in-law's obituary refers to him as R. D. -- his son's obituary refers to him as "Bob" and James D. JORDAN (dying February 1923) was husband of Mary "Mollie" BETTIS. In 1880 census, he is in Mary AIKENS household in Baxter County as James JORDAN. I remember you asking me long time ago if JORDANs and BAGWELLs were related to AIKENS (spelled so many ways) were related; still don't have answer. Please, Vera, tell us what the Index shows for JORDAN dying in 1923. Thanks! Peggy

Ark Death Record Index shows Jordan, J. D. d. 2-7-1923 in Baxter County The latest up-date on the Fairview Cemetery shows John D. Jordan - h/o Mary M. Jordan 1857-1923 ***** Vera, as the "Court of Last Resort," you were a lot of help. So, Vera and Bernie, for some strange reason John D. JORDAN was known as "Bob" -- at least by those writing the articles for the newspaper. I'm satisfied now. Peggy

Hi girls! This is getting funnier by the post! LOL Maybe Mary Bettis married, Bob, James and John and all were Jordans? Maybe? Just teasing. So, this information from Vera sure confuses the matter more, doesn't it? I think we (or I) can eliminate Bob as Mary's husband - but, is it James or John for her? Sounds like it should be John - but Peggy............you say some obits referenced her husband as being James? I need to go back and reread all yours and Vera's posts. Brain is working real slow today - packing AGAIN. More later, Bernie Moore-Knowles Phoenix, Arizona - Papa'aloa, Hawai'i "I have Indian blood in me.

> Maybe Mary Bettis married, Bob, James and John and all were Jordans? Maybe? > Just teasing. We all know the census can be wrong and by now we all know the newspapers make mistakes and after saying all that we can all make mistakes. So if you find the name one way more than once go with.. I tend to go with the head stone on this one. Vera
