My paternal grandmother's parents were George Louis Borders who married Mollie Gibbs, then after she died following childbirth, her sister Margaret Gibbs. My grandmother was Effie Ellen Borders b. 1894. She had siblings Opal, Clara, George, Lee, and Allie. Effie married my grandfather John Harrison Eads in 1912. He was quite the character too, and old family story is that he ran with some of the Borders who owned an adjoining farm...was so drunk at the wedding he could hardly stand up! Her parents didn't want her to marry John Eads, but young love won out....lots of heartbreak to the end of that story! Will share Borders/Gibbs/Eads info. as I know it if anyone connects. Thanks.
