Jordan Obit- May 9, 1913 Chehalis, WA "Bee-Nugget" Funeral Of Mrs. Jordan Yesterday The funeral services of the late Mrs. C. H. Jordan were held yesterday afternoon from the Methodist Episcopal church in this city. Rev. F.S. Pearson, a former pastor of the church, now of Sumner, King county, conducted the services. The services opened with a duet, "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me." sung by Miss Kahler and Miss Benedict, accompanied on the piona by Miss Mildred Christensen. After a prayer by the minister Miss Kahler sang, "Rock of Ages." Rev. Mr. Pearson took his text from the 10th verse of the 1st chapter of Hebrews and part of the 2nd chapter. The sermon was not long, but it reflected directly to the life and how she was intensely interested in the work of the church and especially in her Sunday school. "God will never forget all the good this women has done," said Mr. Pearson. "The personal interest she has taken in each and every member of her Sunday school class will be remembered at the judgement day, and the young ladies whom she has taught will never forget the Christian influence." The casket was nearly buried in flowers. Prominent among the floral offerings was a large piece from the Sunday school class of the deceased. At the conclusion of the services the ladies of the Methodist church marched passed the casket and each one laid a small bunch of narcissus on it. The Sunday school class attended in a body, and the casket, as it left the church, passed between rows of the young ladies. The pall bearers were: Wm. Christensen, R.D. Sprague, R.A. Wilson, E.W. Wise, M.A. Louden and F.M. Clark. The remains were followed to the Washington Lawn cemetery by nearly the entire congregation. Article- same date Laura B.
