"Early Marriages" (Book 3 page 96) reports that "Hattie E Gordon" was married to Charles Pond on 31 Dec 1874, which is contradictory to other official documents I have.

Described by her daughter Etta Mae Lewis as "a Bible student. She was brought up a Baptist. She said they walked to church and Sunday School. They had to cross a stream so they took off their shoes and stockings to cross and put them on again to go on to church." Source - Etta Jones.

When she was 14, she went to Iowa to help an uncle in a cheese factory. "As they milked many cows and also put up feed for them, there was plenty of labor for men. Father came with other men or boys for work and that was where he met mother". - Etta Jones

Harrison served in the war of the rebellion about two years and was discharged on account of disability. He came to Ohio in the spring of 1870 and engaged in the hardware business with his brother, the late Hon. Lewis S. Gordon, at Antwerp, Ohio, in which business he still continues in connection with his son Edwin V. Gordon. He has filled several minor township offices and is at present township treasurer, member of the school board (which position he has filled for twenty consecutive years) and is president of that body, as also of the Antwerp Telephone Company and the People's Elevator Company. Their store is large and modern and one that would be a credit to a much larger city. Their business integrity is unquestioned by any one. Mr. Gordon is a member of the A.F.&A.M. lodge at Antwerp, Ohio, and has been since 1867 and of the I.O.O.F. lodge of which he has been a member for 22 years. Of the soldier organizations, he first became a member of the Soldiers and Sailor's Union and at the organization of the order in 1867, was made the commander. This order was afterwords merged into the G.A.R. of which he became a member and has been ever since. The Gordons are Presbyterians, he being a member of the building committee of the splendid new structure now in course of construction. Mr. Gordon is one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of Paulding county.

Served in co G, 14th Ohio Infantry during Civil War, according to National Archives military file. He enlisted on August 26, 1861 in Antwerp, Ohio with Captain Echler for a three-year term. He was 21 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, light complexion, blue eyes, auburn hair, born in Paulding, Oh and occupation was a farmer, according to enlistment records. Although he enlisted as a corporal, by November 1861, he was being carried as a sergeant. On the Mr/Apr 1862 muster roll appear the remarks "left sick at Nashville Hospital. March 28/62". The May/June 1862 muster roll shows that the illness proved fatal with the remarks "Died at Nashville, Tenn Apr 28. Entitled to Sgt's pay. Not on Muster-out roll". The cause of Jonathan's illness is not recorded, however, there is an auditor's comment dated May 11/09 that appears to read "M/in atCamp Calbert, Ky" A study of his unit's history may shed more light on the possible injury. There is another note that reads as follows "It has been determined by this Department that this company was mustered into the service of the United States October 28, 1861, to take effect from that date." Perhaps there was some delay between enlistment and mustering in due to training requirements or materials or leadership.
