Ladder trucks from Kreamer, right, and Selinsgrove raise a memorial arch over the square in Middleburg Wednesday to honor Tony Jordan, the police chief in several Snyder County communities including McClure and Beavertown. Jordan died Wednesday of COVID-19.
MCCLURE Along U.S. 522, emergency crews and others lined the road in McClure, Beavertown and Middleburg Wednesday evening.
They were there to honor one of their own.
Tony Jordan, longtime chief of police in Middleburg, died Wednesday at Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital, where he had been a patient in treatment for COVID-19.
In addition to Middleburg, where Jordan served for over three decades, he was the chief of police in McClure and Beavertown boroughs, which contracted with JordanÃs force for service. The communities he served turned out in solidarity as he was transported back to the Snyder County seat.
