Today we learned of the death of my brother-in-law, William Henry Bailey Jordan. He was the husband of my sister, Rose Marie, and the father of James Bailey and Elizabeth Talley Jordan. All of us looked forward to the vacation when Rose Marie and Bill Jordan would come to Charleston. No one loved seeing them more than Mama and he would sing for her.
I called my sister, Rose Marie, this morning and we laughed about the olden days. Bill will be given private military honors at graveside and will be buried with Bach and a baton and a cigar ---tools of his trade! We always called the Bills by their full name--We had three named Bill (Stacy, Frye and Jordan) (Only Jordan was in there for the long haul!) It could have been worse: we could have had three named: Joker or Audley.
In spite of getting older, it is nice to remember when we had a different cast of characters! And Bill Jordan believed in music and he believed in playing golf. Mark Stacy will be going down for the funeral and Rose Marie is so delighted that he is coming down! Durham is four hours from Greer.
