The TALES you probably never heard about

ELIZABETH JORDAN

[Welland Tribune, 23 April 1897]

The messenger of death issued a third summons within a few weeks among the elderly residents of this vicinity-the late Joseph Reavely, Mrs. Elizabeth Robertson, and on Tuesday morning Mrs. Elizabeth Jordan quietly passed away about 7 o’clock, at the advanced age of 80 years, 5 months. The funeral took place from her late residence to the St. Paul’s church burying ground yesterday. Her name will be remembered among the early events of this section, and classed among the landmarks. Three sons and three daughters survive her: Wm. Jordan of this village, George and John Jordan and Mrs. D. Hughes of Port Colborne, Mrs. Capt. Jackson and Mrs. McCracken of Toronto. Deceased was born in Ireland, and came to this section when a young girl. Her husband was buried at Port Robinson 44 years ago last New Year’s day.
