General Notes: Husband - Samuel Steffy Jordan


He was reared at the old family homestead, acquiring at an early age a practical knowledge of farming and lumbering. When very young he engaged in the latter business, and for much of the rest of his life was more or less extensively interested in the same. On August 24, 1864, he enlisted in Company B, 206th P. V. I. under Capt. William Neale, and remained in the service until July, 1865, when he returned home.
In February, 1866, he was married and in the following year located at the Pantall homestead in Oliver township, Jefferson County, where he spent one year. After that time he resided on his own farm, a fine estate on which was a handsome and well-furnished residence. The family attended the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Jordan was a trustee. He was also a member of Post No. 237, G. A. R., of Punxsutawney. Politically, he was a Republican, and for three years he held the office of supervisor of his township.
