Mrs. Arminta Sawyer Jordan, age 81 years, a resident of Plainfield for fifty-five years, died last Thursday morning at the McCormick nursing home at Clayton.

She was born April 4, 1860 on a farm west of Hazelwood, at the time located in Morgan County. She lived here until her marriage to George Jordan who died forty years ago. Just before her marriage the county line was relocated and the farm placed in Hendricks County. Thus was she born in Morgan County and married in Hendricks [County], in the same house. She is the last of a family of eighteen children.
