George Fowler Border was the son of George Border(born in England) and Elizabeth Broocks daughter of General Travis Green Broocks, first postmaster of San Augustine,TX who came to the region in 1838.
George's father and his brother John(FAG#64473385) arrived by a ship named the "Great Britain" on 12 Aug 1833 in the New York harbor in America along with the rest of the Border family. Their port of departure was Liverpool.
Doctor Border was born in San Augustine, Texas, on December 22, 1873, and is the son of G. F. Border, who was born in England in 1838, and who died in San Augustine, Texas, in 1883. Charles F. Border, grandfather of the subject, was an English emigrant to America, settling in San Augustine, Texas, while others of the same generation came over and settled in Ohio, where their descendants may be found today.
The Border name came to command respect, and the family made many substantial contributions to the business and social life of San Augustine, and elsewhere. His dad served in the civil war as an officer, 2nd Lieutenant, and his uncle, John Pelham(1819-1873)Border(FAG#64473385) was a colonel in the civil war.
George siblings included Mattie, May, Lecurgus "Curg", and Cora Border.
George brother-in-law Mathew S. POLK and sister Sarah May Border POLK and George mother Elizabeth moved to Mangum, OK, from San Augustine county TX around 1904. The Polk family seemed related to almost everyone who was anyone in deep east Texas politics, as well as to national figures like President James K. Polk.
Dr Border, who is one of their five children, briefly mentioned as follows:
*May married M. S.. Polk, a mechanic of Mangum.
*Mattie is the wife of J. M. Burleson, a near relative of Postmaster General Burleson, and they live in San Augustine, where he is engaged in the cattle business. .
*Lecurgus(Curg) Border -single; died in San Augustine, TX on May 1904.
*Cora Border -(b. Jun 28, 1873, d.Jun 18,1950) 1st marriage: Elisha Roberts; 2nd marriage: Dr Withers; 3rd marriage: D. M. (Dock) Parker
G. F. BORDER, prominent surgeon of Magnum, and mayor of the city, is one of the foremost men of his community. He came here in 1900, and in the same year opened the Border Hospital. It was all inadequate in the beginning to the demands of the place, but today he is the owner and proprietor of one of the finest and best equipped private hospitals to be found anywhere in the country. With accommodations for thirty patients, it is always filled to capacity, though it is exclusively a surgical hospital.
G. F. Border had his early education in the public schools of San Augustine, and was a graduate of the Patroon High School, class of 1891. He later attended Center Texas College, and was graduated from the Louisville Medical College in 1895 and from the St. Louis College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1900 with the degree of M. D. Doctor Border began practice in the I1. S. Marine Hospital in Atlanta as assistant surgeon before he had his degree, and he has since taken numerous post-graduate courses, among the courses at the Chicago Polyclinie, the New York Polyclinic and with Mayo Brothers at Rochester, Minnesota. In 1899 he practiced medicine in Holland, Texas, and in 1900 he came to Mangum, in the same year opening the Border Hospital. It was a small and unpretentious place then, with a few rooms over the City Drug Store, but the demand for places in the little .hospital was so great that in 1907 Doctor Border built his present modern hospital at 224 West Jefferson Street. His is the oldest private hospital in the State of Oklahoma, and it accommodates patients from all over the state, from Texas and from other states. Thirty beds is its capacity, and it is owned and managed exclusively by Doctor Border, whose professional work is confined wholly to the surgical field.
Doctor Border is official surgeon for the Rock Island Railroad and for the M. K. & T. Road. He is health officer for Mangum and has held that office for the past fifteen years.
A democrat, Doctor Border was elected to the office of mayor in 1912, and again in November, 1914, for a term of four years. At the last election he had no opposition. He has a good deal of civic pride, and it has been his ambition to make Mangum the cleanest town in the state. In 1914 the city won the state prize for cleanliness as a result of Doctor Border's efforts. Through his efforts, too, were sanitary drinking fountains placed in the public schools.
Doctor Border is a member of Mangum Lodge No. 61, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Mangum Chapter No. :5, Royal Arch Masons, Consistory No. 1, Valley of Guthrie; India Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Oklahoma City; Mangum Lodge No. 1169, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; and he is a member of the County, State and American Medical societies. At one time he was a stockholder in a number of insurance companies. Doctor Border is unmarried.
His hospital eventually became called the Border-McGregor Hospital in Mangum, OK.
In 1932 he was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Will Rogers, the humorist was inducted the same year. This is the highest honor an Oklahoman can receive from the state.
The Border-McGregor Hospital building and grounds provide a perfect place for the Old Greer County Museum and Hall of Fame for Old and Young Pioneers.
