IN MEMORY Os
MRS. R. f. JORDAN
Whereas, Mrs. R. F. Jordan,
one of the outstanding women
of Georgia was taken from us
by a tragic death December stb,
1941, and since she was such a
useful and beloved member of
Shiloh Methodist Church; the
second quarterly conference of ’
the Alamo charge, meeting in
the Shiloh church this sth day
of May, 1942, wishes to make a
statement and offer some resolu
tions as follows:
Statement: Mrs. Kathleen Knox
Jordan, was born in Dodge
county, graduated from the State
Normal School, of Athens, taught
school several years in Albany,
Georgia, then in Lumber City,
Georgia; was married to Mr. R.
F. Jordan in July 1920; died fiom
an automobile accident Decem
ber sth, 1941. She was preceded
to the grave by one only son, R.
F. Jdrdan, Jr., who died Novem
ber 22, 1928. She is survived by
her husband and four daughters.
Mrs. Jordan was a woman of
keen intellect, well posted in all
current affairs, social, political,
religious. She was active in al[
the affairs of the church, com
munity, and this entire section
of the. State, especially in this
church. Her wide a wake int
erest in all that tended to up lift
for White and Black, her keen
sense of fairness, good judge
ment, her unusual leadership
ability made her a great asset
to the church and community.
She was active and efficient in all
departments of the church work,
the Woman’s Society of Christian
Service; the church; school;
young peoples work; local
chairty; finances; being treasurer
of the Board of Stewards. Her
place cannot soon be filled. Her
consecrated life, deep spiritual
experience means her going was
her gain, but our loss.
Therefore, Be it Resolved That,
We deeply deplor her untimely
going; We extend our sincere
sympathy to the Family; and we
request that a copy of these
resolutions be recorded on our
minutes, a copy be published in
The Wesleyan Christian Advo
cate, and a copy in The Wheeler

The above resolutions was
passed by the Second Quarterly

in prayer by the District Sup
erintendent, Rev. Leland Moore.
