Forty years ago Jacob Jordy
was as familiar to the people of this place as any citizen it contained. For
many years he conducted a shoemaking and repairing shop here, and his work was
of that character of honest that doubtless shoe ware made by him may yet be
found in use.
Mr. Jordy was of French birth and came to this place half a
century ago, and last Tuesday, died from the infirmities of old age, but about
three months under ninety years old.
For many years he made his home on the
hill beyond former Freeholder Amos Thatcher's Hillside Farm, and would daily
"walk to town" and attend to his business here. Some years ago, perhaps fifteen
or twenty, he built a shop at his home on the hill and there continued to work
at his trade until old age precluded its continuance. It has been many years
since we have seen his form so familiar to our boyhood days, on the streets of
Flemington.
In his early manhood, he served seven years in the French army.
His wife died about five years ago. Nine children were born to them, eight of
who are still living, an honor to their parents. They are George, Lafayette and
Mrs. James Boyd, of this place; Mrs. Theo Buck, Jutland; Miss Wilhelmina, of New
York; Mrs. Chas. Ogbin, Elgin, Ill.; Frederick, South Stillwater, Minn. and
Louis P. Meridian, Idaho. Charles, who lived at Oscaloosa, Iowa, died two years
ago.
The funeral was held on Saturday from his late residence, with interment
in Prospect Hill Cemetery.
