General Notes: Wife - R. Emma Jordan

---

Her health was not sufficiently strong during girlhood to permit her to gratify her wish for a collegiate education, but after completing a course in the common schools she attended the academy at Aaronsburg, and her mental powers assimilated through reading and observation an unusual amount of information. She was highly accomplished, and was at one time especially proficient in music, in which she gave lessons. During the last years of her parents' lives she gave them the most devoted and watchful care, ministering to their every need, and brightening their hours of pain or weariness with her filial love. Her kindliness of heart found a wide field of expression in generous assistance to different charities, and she did much for the Reformed Church, of which she was a consistent member. Always active in its various lines of work, she was especially helpful at the time of the building of the new church edifice, being one of the leaders in the Ladies Aid Society, after a career of six years succeeding in raising funds to the amount of $1,093. Neither was she lacking in practical business ability, her management of her father's estate, as executrix under the will, showing rare tact, discretion and firmness of character.
