Charles E. Jordan

CHARLES E. JORDAN, president of The Findlay Courier Company of Findlay, Ohio, and vice president of the City Banking Company, is a representative member of the Findlay bar.  He was born in Washington Township, Hancock County, Ohio, Dec. 27, 1870, and is a son of John M. and Isabel (Redman) Jordan.      John M. Jordan was born on the old home farm in Washington Township, where he died in May, 1881.  His father, Charles E. Jordan, an early settler, had come to this place from Belmont County, Ohio.  John M. Jordan served as a soldier in the Civil War but survived its dangers and died many years afterward after years of peaceful pursuits.  He married Isabel Redman who was also born in Washington Township and died in August 1881, on the home farm.      Charles E. Jordan, bearing his grandfather's name, was reared on the old family estate and from the country schools entered the Northwestern Ohio Normal University at Ada and after completing the literary course entered upon the study of law.  He was graduated from the law department of the Cincinnati College, and was but twenty-two year of age when he was admitted to the bar, in 1893.  For six years Mr. Jordan acceptably filled the difficult office of prosecuting attorney for Hancock County, being elected on the Democratic ticket in 1896, and since then has devoted himself to a private practice that is more or less absorbing.      Mr. Jordan was married to Miss Gail Dukes, a member of one of the old and prominent county families.  They have one son, Richard D.  The father of Mrs. Jordan was Eli Dukes, a prominent resident of Blanchard Township.  Mr. Jordan served as clerk of the police court under Mayor Meehan's administration.  He is a member of the Masons, the Knights of Pythias and the Elks.
