LEMUEL ID. JORDAN.
Lemuel b. Jordan, a lifelong citizen of
Ellsworth, and ore intimately associated
with the history of the town for many
years, died Sunday noon, Il: his home on
F.m street. Death was due to old age.
Mr.. Jordan was born in Ellsworth Jan.
Is, 1911, and was therefore at his death
within ten days of his eighty eighth
birthday. lie was the eldest of seven
children, only one of whom, John G.
Jordan, of this city, survives him. He was
I he son of John G. Jordan, one of he
early settlers of Ellsworth.
In his early years Mr.. Jordan was
engaged in school teaching in different
parts OF Hancock county, but principally
IN Ellsworth. He taught several terms at
t he old Morrison district schoolhouse.
He was a teacher of the old school type,
who believed faithfully in the old adage
that to spare the rod meant to spoil the
caild. He did not spoil any of his pupils
ny neglect in this direction, but the
wholesome advice and sound instruct ion
which he gave have outllved the sting OF
tue rod. Many Ellsworth men past
middle age recall the days when they sat
beneath his instruction, and see now,
what they did not always appreciate then,
tuat the teacher WAS working only for
tneir interest.
Mr.. Jordan also dealt quite extensively
in wood, buying up Woodland for stump
age, aud selling tie " ood. He shipped
great deal OF kiln-wood to Rockland, III
years wnen prices were more II an twice
what they are at present. He owned the
old schooner "Hussar2', Which was eh-
gagged III the kiln-Mood carrying business.
Mr.. Jordan was republican and alwa5
took an interest i'll pubic affairs. Under
the old town system he WAS selectman
and assessor for many years. Under the
city government he was chairman of
the overseers of the poor for seveIa years
He was postmaster of Ellsworth during
the ClVll war, receiving MS mission
from A bra ham Lincoln III 1851.
MIR. Jordan married in early life Miss
Ruth b. Peach, of Eden. He had a
family of seven chudren, two of whom
survlve-Luther {. Jordan, of Sacramento,
Cali, aud John Newell Joraan, Lieut.. t.
). N, now stationed at hartford, Conn.
All Mr.. Jordan's life, with the excep-
tion of two years spent with his broth
John q. i'll California in the sos, had
been passed i'll Ellsworth. Industrious
and frugal, old age found him in com
fortab bic circumstances. In recent years
he performed many acts of charity and
neighboriy kindness, always unosten-
tatlously, and III many instances in such
II way that the recipient of tavors did not
know from whom they came.
Mr.. Jordan retained his faculties to
the end. He was confined to his house
only a few weeks before his DEATH Only
last fall he made journey to Hartford,
Conn, to see his SON. and returned from
the trip apparently without fatigue.
Funeral services were held at the house
this forenoon, at 10 O'Clock. R-v. f. +.
