Some More On Jordan Noble-- Part 2: Death "The Familiar Face of 'Old Jordan'"

He kept a steady beat with Major Louis D'Auin as he led his company against British on the night of December 23, 1814.

Then, there was role at the Battle of New Orleans.

At his death, June 20, 1890, at age 90, the New Orleans Picayune reported the "death of 'the Drummer Boy of Chalmette'" and ran a woodcut picture of the "Colored Veteran of Four Wars," and encouraged all to attend his Saturday afternoon funeral so they could look on the "familiar face of 'Old Jordan'" one last time.

He was buried at the city's St. Louis Cemetery No. 2, Square 3.

Again, this man would make the subject of a great movie.  Hear that Hollywood.
