Asberry Gordon, the brother of
Cope" Gordon, who built the Cope
land hotel. has sold his farm of 147
acres just north of Menoken to George
c. Bills, for $4,000. This makes the
price about $3.50 an acre. Mr.. Cor
don bought the place from a Potta-
watomfe Indian in 1857, just after he
came here from his birthplace near
Buffalo, New York. He has lived on
it ever since. A fine large barn of
limestone and brick is considered one
of the best buildings of it's kind in
the state. The house is small.
However, Mr.. Gordon has never
married, and didn't need large
dwelling. He is undecided just what
he will do, but at present says he may
make his home in Topeka.
His brother, J. C. Gordon of 1101
South Harrison street, is well known
as the builder of the famous Copeland
hotel. This was erected in 1882 and
became the headquarters of politi-
clans. Much political medicine was
made in it's Hobbies. 1t was known as
copeland County," Early in the
morning of January IA, 1909, the no.
tel caught fire, supposedly from a gas
explosion and the building was gut
ted. Only the walls remained. In
the fire, Ike Lambert of Emporia,
a well known Kansas attorney lost his
life.
