An Aged Citizen Died

Mr. William R. Jordan, the father of Mrs. W.R. Rogers, of Potterville, died 
last Saturday morning July 8th 1911, after a short illness and was buried at 
the Potterville cemetery Sunday, the funeral service conducted by Rev. Mr. Dell 
of Reynolds.

Mr. Jordan had made his home at the residence of Mr. Rogers for the last eleven 
years and was a ripe Christian gentleman, and though he lived to the advanced 
age of 94 years, 11 months and 7 days, yet he was bright and cheerful to the 
last, and patient in his feebleness from declining years.  He had been a member 
of the Methodist church for 35 years and passed away in the triumph of a living 
faith.

He leaves behind to mourn their loss not only hosts of friends but also two 
daughters, Mrs. W.R. Rogers, of Potterville, Mrs. M.A. Foster, of Macon, and 
four sons, Messrs. J.F., G.W. and J.R. Jordan, of Macon, and Mr. Clinton Jordan 
of Birmingham, Ala.
