Augustan M. and Sarah (Jordan) Borders. Augustan was born at Cedartown, Polk County, Georgia, on the 20th of May, 1842, and Sarah was a native of the state of Arkansas, where she was born on the 12th of January, 1850; her parents came from Arkansas to Texas just after the close of the Civil war, and her marriage to Augustan M. Borders was solemnized at Meridian, Bosque county, this state, on the 12th of January, 1871. Stephen A. Borders, Augustine's father, was a native of Georgia and the great-grandfather was born in Germany.
Augustan M. Borders was reared to maturity in Georgia, where he received a good common-school education and where also he learned the trade of carpenter. In 1867 he came to Texas and settled in Cleburne, where he remained until the following year, when he removed to Erath county and took up his residence in Stephenville, where he was employed for some time as clerk in a store conducted by the late Dr. Martin S. Crow. He was a citizen who ever commanded the highest measure of popular confidence and esteem, was influential in public affairs of a local order and served about twelve years as treasurer of Erath County. He was a staunch Democrat in his political proclivities, and both he and his wife held membership in the Methodist Episcopal church. Their mutual devotion and sympathy made their married life one of signally ideal character, and "in death they were not divided," as Mrs. Borders was summoned to the life eternal on the 16th of February, 1899, and he passed away on the 5th of the following month. They became the parents of five children, all of whom are living; Emma O. is the wife of Dan W. Evans, of Mineral Wells, Palo Pinto county, Texas; John B. resides in Mansfield, Tarrant county; Beulah A. is the wife of George B. Newson, and they reside in Missouri; and Balma A. is the wife of Lee Williams, of Stephenville, Texas. (Source: A History of Central and Western Texas, Vol 1, Captain B. B.
