Miss Cynthia Borgman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Borgman of Sioux Center, passed away June 29th near Amoy, China, where she was doing missionary work.
Miss Borgman departed for China last September after having passed the mental and physical tests before the mission board of the Reformed church. About six months ago she suffered a nervous breakdown while pursuing her language study preparing to enter the mission field.
She was making a satisfactory recovery from this ailment when she became sick with dysentery and because of her weakened condition she was unable to overcome the disease.
