Funeral of Major Clayton.

The remains of Major Clayton, U. S.
l., whose death on Wednesday of last
week at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming
Territory, was noticed in our last issue,
reached Elkton at S.2S a. m. Tuesday
morning. They were accompanied by
his widow, his brother Julius, who was
with him when he died, another brother,
his brother-in- law, Hon. Chauncey F.
Black. and J. S. B. Clayton, son of the
deceased. The remains were inferred at
Bethel cemetery, Pivot Bridge, Cecil
County. Rev. Asbury Burke and E. II.
Nelson read The service. The pall-bear-
ers were james Hopper. J. H. Steele, J.
Fletcher Price, DR.. J. V. Wallace, Rich
ard F. May and Col. A. W. Evans.
Major Clayton dropped dead on the
ballroom floor at Fort Russell. During
a quadrille he reeled, turned and dropped
into a chair near his wife. He was taken
into the hall. but died IN the presence of
his wife and daughter before physician
arrived. For years the Major has been
afflicted with heart disease, but he was
supposed to have recovered from it. He
was unconscious from the time he fell
into the chair. Col. Miner, in command
at Fort Russell, in the orders for the
funeral arrangements, said:
Life hangs by the frailest tenure. A
noble man has passed away. Always
cheerful and happy, Major Henry Clay
ton, pay department, appeared more
than usually happy at our regular We'd
nesday evening hop, when suddenly the
heart failed to perform it's functions and
he was summoned to the presence of his
Maker. The sudden death of Major
Clayton is an especial grief to this COM
mand. He had been a captain in the
regiment, uud his station 10 the pay de-
partment, at Cheyenne, SO near to us;
his proverbial courtesy, gentleness and
kindness of character had endeared him
to all. The most sincere coincidence is
extended the bereaved wife, son and
daughter"

DIR. Michael Jordan.

DR.. Michael Jordan who was buried at
West Nottingham cemetery on the last
Sabbath of the year 1888, had rather
remarkable career. He was born in Phil
adelphia in 1918. His father was a dis
tinguished surgeon in the U. S. Navy.
His mother belonged to wealthy and
| aristocratic family of that city. When
the lad was five or six years of age his
/ father and mother for reasons satisfactory
to each separated. Mrs. Jordan subse-
auently married Hiram Taylor and came
to reside IN the 9th district Cecil county,
Md.
Young Jordan remained in Philadel-
phia and attended the best schools that
could be found in that city. When with
in few years of completing his collegi-
ate course, his father died leaving him
heir to what was considered in those days
large fortune.
This money however he could not OBJ
tain until he should reach his majority.
He therefore advertised it for sale through
his guardian.
MIR. Hiram Taylor becoming cognizant
of this fact fastened to the Quaker City
and became the purchaser OF the young
mans prospective patrimony.
The Journey to and from the distant
city was performed by Mr.. and Mrs. Tay-
lor in their light family carriage drawn
by one horse. When out in the lonely
country, on their return trip they were
attacked by two mounted masked men
who had evidently followed them, for
the purpose of robbery and perhaps muir
der to accomplish their purpose. But Mr..
Taylor was man of great courage and
determination and had prepared for an
emergency of this kind by the purchase
of two loaded revolvers. These he pro-
ceeded to use with such telling effect that
the would be robbers reiterated without
accomplishing any part OF their purpose.
After completing his college course and
graduating with credit young Jordan
read medicine, as was then the custom
with those aspiring TO its practice with
one of the most eminent physicians of
his day. After this he came to live with
his mother and practice his profession in
this county where he continued to reside
until his death. He was man OF sound
sense and most excellent Judgment, es-
pecially in matters pertaining to his pro-
tession but possessed many peculiar ideas
concerning medicines which were re-
garded by his fellow practitioners as mere
vagaries. As long as he practised medl-
cine he enjoyed large but never lucra-
tive practice as the greater part of his
later life was spent upon small farm
just on the verge of that underlined region
known as the "barrens' in the Eighth dis
trict. He was twice married and leaves
a family of grown children and also a
widow.
