lot in the West Glover cemetery.
We are panied to record the death of one
of our best and most respected citizens,
John Borland, who died last Monday
evening, June 10Th. Mr.. Borland had
been failing in health for two years; but
was able to be about most of the tim e,
doing some light work and looking after
affairs. On the day of his death he was
out about the premises more or less until
nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, when
he was taken with severe pain, and passed
away at 900. Mr.. Borland was born in
Strathaven, Scotland, Feb. 16, 1880. He
came to Glover when he was eighteen
years old and lived here until his death.
In June, 1861, he married Philena V.
REGARD, who lived until 1869. In 1873 he
married Harriet B. Mason, widow of the
late Capt. Dan Mason. In 1865 he bought
the farm where he resided until his death.
Mr.. Borland was a man who always took
the right Of every moral question. He
was exceedingly benevolent, kind hearted,
neighborly and conscientious. For many
years he was member of the Congrega-
tional church of West Glover, and for
several years one of the deacons. He con-
tributed literally of his means for the
support of the church and to help the
poor. He was more than ordinarily
intelligent, well informed in current events
and history, close student of the Bible,
which he read daily and made the rule of
his life. AS farmer he had few superiors,
and being great worker he brought his
farm to high state of cultivation. His
buildings and everything about his prem
ises gave evidence to the fact of his thrift,
industry and wise management. He made
many friends because he showed himself
friendly to all. In his death, not only are
his friends bereft, but the town loses one
of its noblest citizens. The funeral was
largely attended at his late residence, Rev.
s. L. Vincent officiating. He leaves to
mourn his loss wife, his two sons, John
and Clark, a brother, Matthew Nisbet,
and many more distant friends and rela-
tives. The burial was in West Glover
cemetery.
