CHARLES B. JeRDAN'S DEATH.
Val Disease of the Heart was tho
Gnusa

-
yalyhfar Disease of the Heart was the
Cause.
The death of Charles B. Jordan yester.
day, while not altogether unexpected by
the members OF his family, was a great
surprise to his host of friends throughout
the county. Much sympathy Was ex-
pressed for the wife and children of the
deceased. There were few men in the
city who had as many staunch friends as
Charlie Jordan. He had the faculty of
making friends and keeping them, and
those who enjoyed his friendship never
regretted it.
Mr.. Jordan was forty-six years of age.
He was born in this city. His death was
peaceful. He was surrounded by his
family and friends at the time.
Charles Jordan never posed as a poll
tician. He was, of course, interested in
politics to some extent. He was a talented
mathematician. Few men could compute
returns with the rapidity and accuracy
he could, SO for this reason he was always
In demand at State headquarters on cleo
ton nights.
He leaves a widow and three children.
The eldest, young sgd Jordan, used to
be a member Of the r%eportorial staff of The
JERSEY CITY NEWS, but subsequently ac-
CCPUCo " pOSitlO4 az Ju6 UdLuS OIL Inc
Equitable Life Assurance Society in New
York City. The two other children, both
girls, are well known in Sunday school
circles for their musical talent. Indeed,
the deceased was well known among
friends in Jersey City, New York, Brook
lyn and Philadelphia for his musical
abilities, which the two daughters seem
to have inherited from him. His widow
was Miss Caroline Quiche of this city.
Mr.. Jordan had been ailing about two
years, and his death was not unexpected
by his family. During the past two years
of his illness he consulted Drs. Della ED
and Blooms of New York City, but DIR.
Ramsay of this city was his attending
physician. His death resulted from
valvular disease of the heart.
When only five years of age he was
struck by a cripple with his crutch. This
lead him to lean over too much to avoid
pain in the region of the wound, and
curvature of the spine resulted, otherwise
Charles B.. Jordan would have been a big
s%trapping man like all his brothers.
MI. Jordan will be buried on Saturday
from st. Matthew's Church, Sussex
street. The funeral services will begin at
two p. M. Interment will take place in
New York BAY Cemetery.
