with economy, thrift and well directed labor is po uring wealth into their
coffers. They have had three children, only two livi ng, Alice and
Joseph. Alice married Henry Knauss, son of William Knauss, an
intelligent, thrifty, young man not at all afraid of work, who has
already surrounded his family with every comfort and is providing well
for the future . Joseph has become of that age to make useful help for
his father on the fa rm. Joseph Jordan married Hannah Gambee. They live
on the old Bruin farm, B utternut Ridge, and have three or four children.

balance of the heirs and own, occupy and carry on the old farm, the
sisters managing the household matters and the bro thers the farm, living
in peace, quiet and comfort. [The Bellevue Gazette, Chat About the Old
