GORDON JOHN
[Welland Telegraph, 16 October 1891]
Mr. John W. Gordon, one of Port’s oldest residents, with his wife and family, visited friends here on Monday and Tuesday last. Mr. Gordon was in the tug business here some years ago. He now resides in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he is employed as purchasing agent for the Brooklyn Street Railway Company. He is a brother of Mr. Mathew Gordon, of this place. His many friends here have hope he will visit Port more frequently.
John Wilson Gordon is my g-grandfather! I did not know that he went back to visit. Sadly, he died of tuberculosis in NYC in 1898. His only child to survive childhood, Alice Ethel Gordon, is my grandmother, born in Brooklyn in 1881.
