Ionia Daily Sentinel, 21 Feb 1911

Lying on her couch in her home, joking with Dr. R. W. Alton, who had been called
to attend her, Mrs. James Jordan with a sudden exclamation of pain, passed away
instantly Thursday.  She had been in poor health many years but of late had been
feeling better and the doctor had been called to attend her for the grip. 
Funeral services were held at the house Sunday morning, Rev. E. B. Griffin,
presiding elder of this district, for the U.B. church, officiating.  Burial was
in Portland.  Mrs. Jordan had been a lifelong member of this denomination and
despite her feeble health had been a great worker in the church.  Her death was
caused by heart disease.

Lydia Price was born in Wayne county, O., March 28, 1845, and came to Orange
township with her parents in 1860.  In July, 1866, soon after his return from
the war, she was married to James Jordan and the couple settled on the farm
where she died.  It was then in the midst of a densely wooded district and did
not resemble the fine farm of today.

The children are George L. Jordan, Mrs. Edgar Davenport, Ionia; Mrs. Leon
Bromberg, Vermontville; Chauncey I. and Veda Jordan, living at home.

The funeral services were largely attended, Sunday, sympathizing friends calling
to pay their last respects to a true Christian character.
