HENRY (HARRY) LAWSON JORDAN

Henry (Harry) Lawson Jordan was born on 22 February 1875 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Henry Jordan (1930-1901) and Mary Elizabeth Grant (1851-1916). Harry had four siblings, George Grant (1876-1935), Joseph (1878-1939), Alexander (1882-1933) and Isabell (b 1890). Harry grew up and completed his training as a lawyer in Toronto. He came west in early 1900s and was lodging in Neepawa, Portage la Prairie, Manitoba in 1906.

Harry arrived in Saskatoon in 1907 or 1908 and joined with James Stratton and William C Sutherland to form Stratton Sutherland & Jordan, lawyers. Two years later Harry was teamed with Fred M Brown in the partnership Brown & Jordan, lawyers. In 1912, Harry joined Charles E Hollingrake, Archibald & Donald Maclean and Arthur Moxon in Maclean Jordan Hollingrake & Moxon.

Around 1915, Harry became city solicitor for Saskatoon; a post he held for several years.

Harry married Annette R probably between 1912 and 1916. Annette was born about 1876 in USA and came to Canada in 1912. We have not been able to trace her parentage. Harry and Annette lived at 318 Saskatchewan Crescent W from 1913 to 1925. Annette was manager of Idylwyld Kennels and Aviaries based at their home address in 1925.

Harry died on 1 March 1928 in Saskatoon and is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Saskatoon.
