The Journal Leon, Iowa June 28, 1883 DIED -- At the residence of his daughter, Mrs. TRAPHAGAN, in Wyoming, Ill., Sunday morning, June 17, 1883, CHARLES JORDAN, in his 84th year. CHARLES JORDAN was born Nov. 16, 1799, in Alleghany County, Pennsylvania. In 1812 he moved to Muskingum Co., Ohio, where he continued to reside until 1853. He was married in 1823, and raised a family of two sons and two daughters -- JOHN and ROBERT, Mrs. TRAPHAGAN and Mrs. EDMUND GRAVES. His wife died in 1853, and since that date he has lived in Iowa a part of the time, but mostly with his children at or near Wyoming. In early life he united with the Baptist Church, and continued a faithful member up to the day of his death. For several years the writer hereof has been well acquainted with Grandfather JORDAN, and will ever remember him as a quiet, inoffensive, intelligent, Christian gentleman; always pleasant and genial in his intercourse with neighbors and friends; one to whom we all extended a hearty welcome. He had lived beyond the allotted time of life -- over four score years -- and in his departure we shall miss one of the time honored landmarks that was a guide to our moral actions. But we could not keep him with us always, and today we believe he is happy in a better land, clothed in the habiliments of immortality. ---------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert December 30, 2009 [email protected] Who was his wife and where are they buried?
