Son of Augustin S & Antonette (Todd) Borders, husband of Pauline Carmichael.
OBITUARY
A SAD EVENT
A shadow of deep sorrow hangs heavily over our town, and a feeling of genuine grief pervades the entire community. On last Tuesday evening a telegram was received in Clayton announcing the death at Ozark of Mr. A. T. Borders, the son of onr [sic.] fellow citizen, Mr. A. S. Borders. The deceased had been ill for some time, and on Tuesday morning showed signs of heart-failure that indicated the inevitable end. Brave man that he was, he struggled as long as failing strength lasted, but finally yielded to the summons 'to join the innumerable caravan' and passed peacefully into that 'last long sleep.'
Mr. Borders was born near Clayton on January 5th, 1868. His father afterwards moved to town, and it was here that the son spent the days of a happy childhood, and grew to young manhood. He graduated at the University of Alabama, studied law in the office of Mr. G. W. Peach and about 10 years ago, moved to Ozark. His studious habits and his profound learning soon made an impression on the people among whom he came to live, and he at once took front rank in his profession and established a lucrative practice which he enjoyed until his death.
Shortly after his removal to Ozark, Mr. Borders was married to Miss Pauline Carmichael who, with a little son survives him. He was a man of courage, unwavering in honesty, strong in his convictions, true to his friendships, incorruptible in integrity. His remains were brought to Clayton on Wednesday morning. In the afternoon, Rev. Mr. Hagood, assisted by Rev. Mr. Sellars, conducted a beautiful funeral service, after which the body was conveyed to the Masonic Cemetary and there, surrounded by a vast concourse of grief stricken friends and in sight of the home of his youth, was tenderly laid to rest. No eulogy, but truth may say of him; "Earth never pillowed upon her bosom a truer son, nor heaven opened wide her portals to receive a manlier spirit."
The following gentleman were their dead friend's pall bearers, J. C. Aker, J. H. Adams, F. D. Bailey, L. F. Sessions, M. Sollie, A. H. Aiston, E. P. Thomas, W. Peach and J. S. Williams.
