Death of John Borders
On Sunday, Feb. 10, John Borders, of Borders Chapel, quietly passed over the divide into the spirit world. Mr. Borders was one of the best known men in the Big Sandy Valley, and belonged to one of the oldest and most prominent families in Eastern Kentucky. From his youth he was perhaps the most religious man in the valley, and he was known by all the older people as "Shouting John Borders," by which title he was distinguished from others of the same name. He raised a large family of children, all of whom are among the best citizens of this section. He was eighty-eight years old, and was very comparatively active until a very short time ago. His funeral took place last Monday, and he was laid to rest by the side of his wife and kindred who had proceeded him.
