Biography

James Arden Gordon was born in 1811 and lived a brief life in colonial Calcutta, passing away in 1813 at the tender age of two. His short existence reflects the harsh realities of life in India during the early 19th century, when disease and difficult conditions claimed many young lives, particularly among the European community.

James Arden Gordon's burial in South Park Street Cemetery, among other members of the Anglo-Indian community, marks the tragic loss experienced by families who sought to build lives in India. His grave stands as a poignant memorial to the children who did not survive to adulthood in this distant land.
