“Information regarding one of the original trustees is scanty. The Reverend Mr. L.H. Jordan was a member of the West Virginia Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church until around the turn of the century when his name was no longer listed in the annual conference journal. The recollection of several persons in Buckhannon is that he served a term as district superintendent of the Buckhannon District. During his travels on the district he gathered many seeling oak trees which he planted on the seminary campus.”
