    1. [NJUNION] Emily Jordan marries in Elizabeth
    2. Sara J. Lyon
    3. Emily Clara JORDAN was married to Henry Clay FOLGER on October 6, 1885 in Elizabeth, Union Co. NJ. Emily was the daughter of Edward Jordan, a lawyer who lived in Elizabeth between 1873 to 1899, had graduated from Vassar in 1879. Henry Clay Folger had graduated from Columbia Law School com laude in 1881. According to a biographical sketch he "was steadily promoted through the ranks of the Manufacturing Committee of Standard Oil" eventuallty becoming president. I am wondering if their wedding would have been reported on the society pages of an Elizabeth newspaper?? I would especially like to know who attended the wedding. Emily Jordan and Henry Clay Folger founded the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC. They had no children so she is a dead end but I am hoping to find the names of other members of her family. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Sara Lyon
