Mrs. Harriet Melissa Jordan, widow of the late S. J. Jordan, died early Friday 
morning at the home of her sister, Miss Dona Harper on Franklin street. She had 
been living with her sister for some months.  Mrs. Jordan was well-known in the 
community and her passing brings great sorrow to her family and friends.

Harriet Melissa Harper, daughter of William and Sarah Young, Harper was born on 
the old Harper homestead in Blackcreek township, Mercer county,  Ohio,  Jan 3, 
1852, and departed this life at the home of her sister, Miss Dona Harper in

Mrs. Jordan was a patient self sacrificial disposition, never tiring in her

tribute of all. This she leaves to constantly remind and encourage us in our 
endeavors of life.
