Obituary DIED: Isaac BORTON at the home of his son, J. W. Borton, Tuesday morning, Feb., 07, 1899, at the ripe old age of 87 years 11 month. Isaac was born 15 miles east of Philadelphia, in New Jersey, March 06, 1811. Moved to Clinton County, Ohio, 1838. Thence to Bureau County Illinois, 1858. Then he moved to Jewel County Kansas and settled on a farm in 1879. Thence to Brown County Kansas in 1887, remaining three years after which he came to Greenwood Co. KS., to spend his remaining years with his son J. W. (John Wesley) In 1840, he married miss Eve Speed (Speece) of Auglaize County, Ohio, who passed away to the other shore 15 years ago. He leaves two daughters and three sons and a score of grand children to mourn their loss. Mr. Borton had not enjoyed the best of health for some years but his death at this time was very sudden, feeling exceedingly well a few hours before his death. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved children who are now fatherless and motherless losing the two best friends on earth. But they are consoled by the fact that sooner or later all must pass through the shadow of the valley of death, and all that is born must die. A GRANDCHILD __________________________- CARDS OF THANKS To our many friends; we wish to thank you for your kindness and attention through the sickness and death of our loved father.
