                           MRS. A. JORDAN

Tuesday morning last, Mrs. A. Jordan living west of Bailey was found dead
in her bed.  She retired about ten o'clock the night before feeling as
well as usual, about 3 o'clock her daughter Annie was awakened by her
hard breathing, she spoke to her mother but received no answer, she then
called her brothers Martin and Eddie.  This aroused her mother, who said
she never felt better and told her children to go back to bed and to put
out the lamp as she could never sleep with the lamp burning.  They talked
a while then fell asleep.

It was nearly seven o'clock when Annie awoke.  Her mother lay just as she
did when she went to sleep, but the angel of death had been there and
taken the loved mother to her rest above.

She leaves three sons and two daughters to mourn her loss.  Her age was
77 years.  Funeral services at the Catholic church and her remains
were interred in Wayne Catholic cemetery beside her husband.  Friends
and neighbors sympathize with them in this sad affliction.

(Feb. 9, 1899)
