MRS. MARTHA JORDAN DEAD,
The death of Mrs. Martha Jordan occurred at the home of her daughter Mrs. D. C. Menefee, Saturday morning following a protracted invalidism and inability to walk about outside. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. Davies followed by interment in the village cemetery.
"Grandma" Jordan as she was familarly known to a wide list of friends was born eighty-eight years ago in Ohio, and as a young wife came to Wisconsin seventy years ago and with her husband passed through much of the hardship incidental to pioneering of that time and included separation from him during his service as a Union soldier in the Civil War. Since his death about twenty-five years ago she had resided with her daughter, the last fifteen years being spend in Eagle River where acquaintance with her had ripened into more than simple friendship. Two sons, W.S. and I. L. Jordan of Ladysmith survive her and attended the funeral. Other out of town friends present were Mmes. Calloway and Walker of Wausau."
