It is intended to honor this young veteran and his father, with their Southern Cross of Honor marker on 150th anniversary of his death, 24 June 2012. True, he, next to mother's plot with oldest half-brother same cemetery, another plot, with other half brother, Major Harold BORLAND buried at Little Rock National Cemetery, with an upright government marker (with incorrect rank). All three at Mount Holly within their different BORLAND plots, are without markers, as where all members of the family except Harold.

OBITUARY: from Arkansas History Commission
ARKANSAS TRUE DEMOCRAT
Tuesday: July 1, 1862 -- p 1, c 5 & 6
George Godwin Borland, son of Solon and Mary Borland, was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, March 11, 1848, and died in Clarksville, Texas, June 24, 1862.
In April, 1861, soon after he was fifteen years of age, he volunteered in Capt Woodruff's company, on the Fort Smith expedition, and was desirous to go with the same company when it entered the service under Gen McCulloch and went to Oak Hills, but was constrained by his parents. When Capt Woodruff raised his company again, last spring, his anxious to enter the service was so great that his parents consented. A few days before he w___ stressed(?), he joined the company now went with it to Gen Pike's command in the Indian country. Well grown and stout, for his ____ and ________ in spirit, he rendered service as long as he was able but his health and strength gave way, and he was discharged in April. He reached Clarksville on his way back home but became to weak to travel, and stopped with friends and relaxed to recruit his strength. There he improved rapidly for some time, but relapsed, from some unaccountable cause, and died when his parents were confidently expecting his return home.
It is not for us to speak of weight of sorrow which is brought upon his father, nor the pangs of grief which rend the heart of his mother, by this afflicting visitation of Providence. Their gallant boy has been offered as a sacrifice on the altar of his country, and he has been disposed of according to the will of Him whose every act is for the best. The Lord save and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. --- Gaz.
