Shared note

The Cooper Review column Delta Diary by Angeline Sharp, June 18, 1981 states the following:
In 1996, Peter W. Miller and his wife Deliah sold land "for and in consideration the sum of one dollar paid by James Daniel Jordan, Wright Smith Miller and J. D. Akard...3 3/4 acres more or less for the purpose of a graveyard for the people of the Lake Creek Cemetery. The Millers gave each grandchild a lot. It is assumed that Millers gave the land years before the deed was recorded because is said to have been in service before 1900. There are very old markers were moved from the Pierce Cemetery. Another 3 1/2 acres were given about 1918. See Delta County, Texas, Deed of Correction Book 21, pages 214-216.

Obituary:
Cooper Review, Cooper, Texas, October 14, 1932
J. D. JORDAN DIED TUESDAY AFTERNOON--INTERMENT WEDNESDAY AT LAKE CREEK CEMETERY
Funeral rites were held Wednesday afternoon at the M. E. Church at 2:30 o'clock for J. D. Jordan who passed away at his home Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, services being conducted by the Rev. O. P. Kiker, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. The body was borne to Lake Creek and laid to rest in the family plot. The mound was covered with a profusion of lovely floral offerings many of which came from friends from a distance. B. B. Johnson of Enloe had charge of the funeral arrangements.
Mr. Jordan suffered a stroke of paralysis four years ago and although living a quiet life was able to walk up town most every day. Friday of last week he was again stricken and failed rapidly, the end coming surrounded by his loved ones.
James Daniel Jordan was born Oct. 21, 1868, at Bearden, Ark, and came to Texas and settled at Lake Creek in 1889.
His first marriage in 1892 was to Miss Called Miller, who died in 1895. To this union there was born no children.
On Oct. 16, 1898, he was united in marriage to Nancy Woodward Ferguson and to this union five children were born all of whom with their mother survive him, as follows: Miss Pauline, who teaches in East Texas State Teacher's College at Commerce, Conway Jordan and Mrs. W. I. Bartley, Jr., of Dallas, Miss Bonnie Jordan and Mrs. E. F. Bowman, teachers in the Cooper schools. He leaves one grandchild, Conway, Jr.; also three brothers, B. I., B. B., and W. W. Jordan and two sisters. Mrs. B. B. Johnston and Miss Juanita Jordan.
When a child he professed faith in Christ and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Two years ago he united with the M. E. Church, South.
Dan Jordan was in the grocery business for many years, then he bought cotton until his health failed him. He was a loyal citizen of Delta County, and his family has lost a loving husband and father, and Delta county a true citizen. The grief that his loved ones are now passing through is so deep that nothing man can say will make it any easier. We can feel for them, and we can sorrow with them, but we cannot help them. We believe, confusedly but perhaps not altogether mistakenly, that there is a kind of power in human love, a power of sympathy and tenderness, and we fall back, as all bereaved people have fallen back, since time began on simple faith. Faith that somehow, in some way that we cannot understand; faith that there is to be, in a life that is better than this one, recompense for all suffering, healing for all wounds; faith that no life is ever really lost, that nothing fine and good is ever realy wasted, that no agony of heart of loneliness of spirit ever goes untouched. As we are forced to realize that we have neither strength nor wisdom of our own, we must cling to the faith, faith in Him who will watch over us and guide our faltering footsteps.
Active pallbears were J. T. Morgan, W. I. Bartley, L. B. Carrell, R. M. Bowman, R. S. Stevenson
