OLD SHREWSBURY RESIDENT PASSED AWAY FRIDAY
W. Lambert Borden, a well known contractor of Shrewsbury, died suddenly Friday morning. Early in the morning he shoveled the snow off the sidewalk in front of his property and dug paths to his outbuildings. About six o'clock he started for Gabriel Nelson's, where he took his meals. On the way to Mr. Nelson's house he was taken with a weak spell and several times he came near falling. He got to Mr. Nelson's house and was in the hall removing his coat when he fell unconscious on the floor. Dr. J.E. Sayre of Red Bank was sent for, but before he arrived Mr. Borden was dead. Dr. Sayre said Mr. Borden's walk through the snow storm had overtaxed his strength and caused his death.
Mr. Borden was 65 years old and was the son of Francis Borden of Shrewsbury. He had always lived at that place and had been engaged in the building and contracting business most of his life. He was a member of the Shrewsbury Presbyterian chuch and his integrity and scrupulous honesty won him the respect of all who knew him.
When a young man Mr. Borden married Clemence Godette of New York, who died fifteen years ago. He leaves three children, Harry Borden of Shrewsbury, Mrs. Augustus Bowne of Little Silver, and William Borden of Philadelphia. Four brothers and sisters also survive him. They are Randolph, Frank, Ashbel W. and A. Holmes Borden and Misses Jerusha, Margaret, Olivia, and Annie Borden all of Shrewsbury.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the Shrewsbury Presbyterian church and was conducted by Rev. Dwight L. Parsons, the pastor. The body was buried in the church burying ground. The bearers were Frank DuBois and William Winter of Red Bank and Benjamin John Parker, Samuel Obre, Charles H. Hurley and Aaron Armstrong of Shrewsbury.
