MCHS Board 3 hrs
Carl Jordan’s funeral at Boyds – Herschel Roper, Dr. Ginn both captured the spirit of Carl’s quiet life. He had memorized all of Chapter 11 – Hebrews – on faith.
Buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery out near where Gladys & Neva live & where Mary grew up.
Back to church for dinner served by a circle – Tlked to Barbara (Jordan) & Ed Granger – among others.

Back in for Board meeting at 7:00 – Only about 15 there. Jack still ramming ‘The Harding Altar’ down our throats. I protested.
(Judge Myers against it, too)

Call from Mary Jordan early. Carl died at 6:00 AM – Mary & I went down about 3 – Took a Kroger raspberry pie. Then we went out to dinner.
He had a painful death as uremic poisoning ravaged him. Had been in Community Nursing Center after being in hospital several days. But when Mary found him tied down & bed soaked she brought him home & family helped her. He refused an operation to alleviate pain. Was 88.
