JORDAN, DULCINA MASON (MRS. JAMES J.): 1833-1895.
Dulclna Mason was born at Marathon, N. Y., on July 21, 1833. She came to Indiana, presumably with her parents, when she was ten years old and is said to have secured an education entirely by her own efforts.
When quite young she married James J. Jordan, a business man of Richmond, Ind. She became the mother of five children and during almost all of her adult years she managed to keep up newspaper work in Indiana and, for three years, in Ohio as associate editor of the CINCINNATI SATURDAY NIGHT. She is described as a woman of boundless energy.
Mrs. Jordan died in Richmond, Ind., on Apr. 25, 1895. Her one book is a volume of verse.
