Logansport Telegraph October 12, 1889.

o'clock at his home in Georgetown having Resided in that vicinity for more than 
50 Years. The decesed was born March 20, 1809 in Butler county this state * 
therefore being more than 80 years of age. He moved to Georgetown this county 
in 1833 and commenced the practice of medicine, but soon abandoned that 
profession to engage in the merchandisary. At the opening of the canal he was 
one of the countians who helped to push work through he was engaged in that 
business for nore than fifty years. Then he retired from a more active pursuit 
of life. The funeral will be held at the Pisgah church in Jefferson township at 
2:30 o' clock Sunday afternoon REV E. S. Scott of this city officiating.

 

Additional Comments:
* this is Statement is confusing because the tombstone reads Butler Co Ohio. 
which seems to be the correct location according to my research. The copy was 
on microfilm and very hard to read due to a line that was present through the 
column. The tombstone spells the last name Gorden but Gordon is also used in 
this obit.
