Mr. Dan Jordan and Miss Mary Holleran, both of this city, were married in Carlisle Tuesday by Rev. Father Hickey.
Mr. Jordan is the accommodating baggage agent of the L. & N. in this city, and is a popular young man. Miss Holleran is a pleasant and attractive young lady, who is much admired by her many friends. They returned to this city on Wednesday night.
Dan Jordan, the genial and always accommodating ticket agent at the local L. & N. office, thinks that patience is one of the greatest assets a railroad man can have, besides a thorough knowledge of his business. "I get a chance," said Dan, "to see human nature in all its phases. We see a great deal more than we tell. But just imagine yourself answering a hundred different questions; making change anywhere from fifteen cents to fifty dollars; hunting up railroad guides while a train is coming in; announcing trains; waiting on patrons at three different windows; hunting up railroad connections; answering telephone calls; trying to administer a polite rebuke to the man in a hurry who elbows ladies away from the window; dallying with the persistent and festive drummer - in short, a thousand and one things that have to be attended to in a rush, when four or five trains are coming in at the same time and you will admit after careful study that it requires the patience of Job or some other saint. Through it all we try to serve the traveling public faithfully, politely and without any partiality." And no one does it more conscientiously than "Daniel" and his assistant A. B. Motch.

Paris Transfer Co.
The Paris Transfer Co. is conducted by M. J. Murphy. He not only handles the largest per cent of the freight that is brought to Paris, but will handle anything from a toothpick to a mountain, or anything else that comes in line with general transfer business.
He makes a specialty of moving pianos or other heavy furniture and will move your household furniture or business fixtures on the shortest notice, and in the most expeditious manner, always exercising due diligence.
Mr. Murphy has long been associated with the business interests of Paris and from the beginning he established a reputation for splendid business methods.
In connection with his transfer business in which seven or eight teams are employed, Mr. Murphy conducts large sale stables for livestock of all kinds, having well equipped stockyards with ample sized stock pens under cover. Here on court day and other public days can be found the choicest selections of livestock raised in the county. The excellent equipment and splendid care of stock brought to his yards has gained for Mr. Murphy a reputation among the stockmen of this and adjoining counties, and we would say to all interested in live stock to see the Paris Transfer before going elsewhere when you wish to buy or sell. They also handle a large stock of baled hay, straw, corn, oats and other feed.

10. JOHN W.3 DROHAN (ANNA2 JORDAN, DANIEL1) was born July 26, 1864 in Paris, KY, and died September 10, 1913 in Elgin, IL. He married VICTORIA ROSER May 03, 1892 in Campbell County, KY, daughter of JOSEPH ROSER and MARY FRAY. She was born January 27, 1867 in Newport, KY, and died July 07, 1956 in Jacksonville, FL.
Notes for JOHN W. DROHAN:
John W. Drohan was born in Paris, Kentucky on July 26, 1864.
Not long after his father died in 1879, the family moved to Covington, KY.
John worked as a cooper in Covington in 1884 - 1885, living with his brother Daniel and his stepfather Thomas Wade at 132 Johnston St.
John was listed in the 1886 - 1887 Covington directory as working as a laborer and now living with his brother Daniel and sister Mary. John was not listed in the directory from 1888 - 1891.
John, Vic and Pierce were living in Newport, KY in 1900. John was a bartender. Vic's sister, Theresa, was living with them.
John, Vic and Pierce were living in Elgin, IL in 1910. John was a precision timer and Vic was an operator at the Elgin Watch Co. Pierce was a music student.
John died around 8:30 pm on September 10, 1913 at his home on 205 National Street in Elgin, Illinois. The last 9 years of his life, he was a resident of Elgin and worked at the Elgin National Watch Company in the timing department. He died after a long illness (two years) of pulmonary tuberculosis.
He was buried at Mt. Hope cemetery at 10:00 am on September 13, 1913 in Elgin. His simple headstone, made of poured concrete, reads John W. Drohn, 1864 - 1913. Yes, his last name is misspelled. Maybe his wife and only child never saw the finished product.
John was well known in the city of Elgin. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, The Court of Honor, the Elks, and the Riverside Club.
The Modern Woodmen was a fraternal benefit society designed to provide financial security to families from all walks of life. During the deadly tuberculosis epidemic of the early 1900s, they opened a sanatorium outside Colorado Springs to provide aid to members stricken with the disease.
Typhoid fever broke out in August 1916 in Elgin, a few years after John's death. About 200 residents, most of them watch workers and members of their families were stricken. Twenty-four deaths from typhoid were reported that year. The source was an artesian well at the watch factory that had been contaminated by river water seepage.
