Richard Jordan moved to Naperville from Chicago about 1900. In 1904, he married Marie Volkens also a Chicago resident. They moved to a farm on Ogden Avenue near Lisle where Western Electric is today. In 1916, they moved to the Heynan farm on Chicago Avenue. It was here they adopted Clifford. Around 1920, they moved to the John Rickert (Book) farm on 75th Street. About 1924, the family moved to Buffalo, New York where Richard took a job in a horseshoe factory. They did not adjust to New York and the confines of city life. Therefore, two years later; they returned to Naperville and the Rickert/Book farm. It was here in February of 1930 that Marie Jordan died. After her death, Richard and Clifford moved to the Charlie Diehl farm near St. Procopius College (Illinois Benedictine).
