JORDAN, CHARLES E.
(15 Oct 1903, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Charley Jordon (sic) Dead.
Charley Jordon, son of Robert Jordon, while working in the Johnson cotton
gin last Friday got his right arm caught in a gin stand.  It drew the
whole arm in and sawed it to shreds.  Drs. Watson and Riley and Wade were
immediately called.  The flow of blood was stopped and amputation took
place.  The relapse from the shock to his system was so great that he
could not recover and died within a few hours.  He was a good citizen, and
may friends mourn his departure and extend their sympathies to his
bereaved wife and child.
(Burial at Ural Cemetery).
