Juletta Ashby Jordan (1855- 1937) was a teacher, temperance advocate, and newspaperwoman in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Originally from Illinois, Juletta moved to the Vinita, Indian Territory, area in the late 1880s. She married Claude D. Jordan on June 7, 1887 and the couple had two children, a girl who died shortly after birth and a son, John Bunyan Jordan (1889-1907). Juletta left her husband in January 1890 and went to live with her mother and sister, "Said" Beck, who also lived in the Vinita area. Shortly afterwards the Becks moved near Blackwell, Oklahoma Territory, where Juletta became active in the Women's Christian Temperance Union. She moved to Phoenix, Arizona Territory in 1905 where she wrote for the Arizona Republic newspaper. She was the author of A Student in Journalism Fifty Years Ago (Phoenix: Arizona Republican Print Shop, 1927). "Said" Beck, the sister of Juletta Jordan, was the widow of Addison Beck, a deputy United States Marshal who served the United States District Court, Western District of Arkansas under Judge Isaac Parker. Beck was killed on September 27, 1883 while attempting to arrest two whiskey peddlers in the Indian Territory west of Fort Smith. He was survived by his wife and two daughters, Emma and Addie. "Said" continued to live with Addison's brothers, Ira and Larkin, when they moved to the Vinita area in the 1880s and taught school for a living.
