  	Died: Jordan \endash At Findlay, Ohio, Friday evening Oct 7, 1881: Mrs. Elizabeth Paden Winders Jordan, aged nearly 70 years. Mrs. Jordan was a native of Mifflin County, Penn., whence she came when quite young with her parents to Fairfield Co., Ohio. Here at the age of eighteen years and a few months she was married to John Winders, an excellent man who died in 1856, leaving her with six children of various ages, the older ones grown to maturity, one being married. In 1862, following the fortunes of a part of her family who had come to Northwestern Ohio, she went to Findlay, which has since been her home. In September, 1871, she was married to Chas. E. Jordan, one of the pioneers of Hancock County, and with him passed the closing years of her life in gentle quietude and peace. Mrs. Jordan was for more than fifty years a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with which she united about 1828 or 1829. Her parents had been Scotch-Irish Presbyterian, and the opposition of her parents and other friends to her choice of a church relationship was very bitter. In that day to be known as a "shouting Methodist" was little better than a disgrace\emdash a fact which the young girl was made to feel deeply. It was through this church relationship that she met and became acquainted with her future husband, Mr. Winders, who stood bravely by her, even before their marriage, in her battle for the religion of her choice. Within two years after marriage she enjoyed the satisfaction of knowing that every member of her family had come within the Methodist fold. She was a subscriber to the "Western Christian Advocate" from the beginning of its publication, having never missed a number of her favorite religious journal, her subscription to which she kept faithfully paid up, alike through prosperity and adversity, for the period of forty years that death brought to a close. Mrs. Jordan leaves behind her two sons and one daughter in Findlay, one son in Indiana, thirteen grandchildren, three great grandchildren and a large circle of other relatives. In her death they deplore the loss of a Christian woman, whose light shone through life with an excellent brightness, and for whom "to die was gain."
