Upon his removal to Texas he was engaged in farming and carpentering until his infirmities of age made it necessary for him to quit work.

Mr. Jordan's wife died a number of years ago, and he is survived only by Mrs. Ashley, who resides at Sanger, and 3 grandchildren. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
