I have recently obtained copies of the obits for Adolphus G Borah and Sarah (Baker) Borah, daughter of John D Baker and Eleanor Kenshalo Baker. He died July 25, 1914 in Burleson, Texas. She died March 26, 1926, also in Burleson. If any Borah researches would like copies, just e-mail me. Diane

I would love to have a copy, thank you! Which Borahs are you related to? Karen

You do have work on the Grice family? I have a photo I recently found if anybody is interested in it. Karen

Yes I would be interested in. This is on my daughter in law side.

That is very cool, thank you! Do you think the marriage records would have burned down too? Somebody did tell me I have the wrong date written down. I don't know where I got it from. What is even cooler is recently my Mom loaned me an old photo album and I have a photo of Larkin and Emma Borah. It is neat to be able to put all of this together. Karen

Karen Do you have a scanner hooked up to your computer? It would be so nice if you could scan in the the old photos from your album and let me post them on our Wayne County website.
