Dies in Missouri
(No Picture included)
Mrs. Sarah A. Borah, who left Sims Station, two or three years ago, for Burleson, Texas, died, Sunday last, at Sargent, Mo., where she had gone several months ago to visit relatives. The deceased was a remarkable old lady. She was close to 90 years of age, and retained her mental facilities up to the time of her death. Although frail in appearance, she had remarkable vitality, and so long as she lived in this county she attended to her business affairs personally. Once or twice each year she would brighten the RECORD office by her appearance and her gentle manner and refined air always left a memory that was pleasant to recall. The remains were brought to her old home at Sims for interment by the side of her husband, the late Nelson Borah.
Note: Not included in the obituary, but she was the daughter of Jonathan Whitson Whitson and Perthena Brown. See the obituary of James Edward Whitson.
