General Notes: Husband - Henry Johnston Jordan


He was educated in the public schools, and while still in his teens was employed at the Standard coal and coke works. He then assisted his father for two years in the hotel of which the latter was the proprietor, and in 1888 went to Connellsville, Pennsylvania, where for five years he was employed as a clerk. In 1893 he took charge of the National Hotel, of which his father had been the previous proprietor, and conducted the same. On becoming the head of this establishment in which he had served an apprenticeship to the hotel business, Mr. Jordan refitted it throughout, making of it the largest and best-equipped hostelry in the borough.
He was a member of the County and State Hotel Men's Associations, a charter member of the Loyal Association of the Royal Arcanum, No. 97, and also belonged to the Royal Arcanum, No. 592, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, No. 868, a charter member of Mount Pleasant Lodge, a member of the Pike Run Country Club, of which he was one of the charter members, also a member of The Homeless No. 26. In political affairs he was a staunch Republican and was a member of the county committee.
