General John M. Harrell writes:
. . . Miss [Fanny Green] Borland was a great genius who perished too soon. I knew her and saw her in 1870, when she completed a rare quartette of gifted, beautiful girls, that formed the family of General Pike, in Memphis, the others being the Misses Pike [Isadore and Lilian] and Miss Sallie Johnson, now Mrs. Cabell Breckinridge, each a type of surpassing beauty. Miss [Sallie Frances] Johnson was the sole daughter of ex-Senator R. [Robert] W. [Ward] Johnson and Miss Borland, eldest daughter of ex-Minister Solon Borland.
