Union County Journal Marysville, Oh. Thurs. June 7, 1894 page 6 Magnetic Springs

Lester Rudolph Jorden, was born in Middleburg, Logan County, Oh. Dec. 11th, 
1848, and moved with his parents to this vicinity when only three years old, 
and died at his home on May Street[Magnetic Springs] June 1st, 1894, aged 45 
years, 5 months and 20 days. He was married to Lydia Bigelow, February 24th, 
1875. To this union were born 5 children, three boys and two girls, the first 
two were boys and have preceded the father to the spirit land, the bereft wife 
and the remaining three children are left to mourn the loss of a husband and 
father. The deceased never joined any church but was of the Universalist faith. 
His sickness was cancer of the stomach and was of long standing. His last 
illness was very painful but he bore it patiently and gradually went down till 
the lamp of life went out. From a human stand point it does seem that Mr. 
Jorden could not have been called away at a time when his relation to his 
family was more important or his fatherly counsel more essential. To the grief 
stricken wife and children we cherish the fond hope that all the dear ones who 
were bound together by the ties of love and consanguinity may meet again beyond 
the dark regions of death in the land of perpetual bliss, on whose blissful 
shore the shades of death never gather. Sunday at 2 o'clock simple services 
were held by the frineds as a token of respect to the departed one, after which 
the order of the Knights of Pythias took charge and was buried with due respect 
in honor of that most noble order. The remains were conveyed by Undertaker 
Bigelow to the beautiful cemetery at Bethlehem and laid in the grave to await 
the trumpet sound.
