    • They eloped in 1904. Accompanied by a friend, Tom Jones, they boarded a train in the downpour of rain at 11 p.m. at night. She said they were afraid that even at that late hour, her father might pursue them, so they persuaded the engineer to let her ride in the engine room. She says "That was such fun!" For a few years they lived around Bronson and then went to Beaumont for a bit. They were country folks, however, and returned in 1912 to the farm that they have lived ever since...(they also) ran a store and filling station on their place on Highway 184 until his death in 1955. Her daughter, Mrs. K. C. Brown, also a widow, lives alone also, on the homeplace. Her only son, Bobby Jordan, died in 1960....She is the grandmother-in-law of Mrs. James Brown, of Woodville, Texas.(Speights, Old Timers of Sabine County, Texas, p. 19).
