Died: At his home in Rosalia township, Thursday morning, June 11th, after an illness of but a few hours, F.A. Borden, aged about 68 years. He was one of the earliest settlers in the township and prominent in all matters pertaining to public affairs, a good citizen, a kind neighbor, husband and father. He herded sheep yesterday as usual, but was taken sick during the night. He seemed to have a premonition of coming death as he told his family it was useless to even take medicine. Dr. Koogler was summoned but he lived but a short time after he reached him. The funeral occurs tomorrow.

Mr. F.A. Borden, who died at Rosalia on the 11th inst., was one of those noble specimens of American citizenship to whom country is superior to party. Resembling Abraham Lincoln in personal appearance, it was fitting that he was a fervent Republican as long as that party represented the cause of the people. When it became evident that the money power was slowly but surely drawing the Republican organization into its meshes, Mr. Borden, like many other true Americans, could no longer find an abiding place within its borders. About twelve years ago he allied himself with the reform movement and later espoused the cause of the people as advocated in the Omaha platform and was an earnest worker in the populists ranks.
