Obituary -
Edward Borden, Cornwallis -
Edward Borden, of Cornwallis, who departed this life at the advanced age of 87, was the only survivor of twelve sons of Perry Borden, who came to this country at the time of its first settlers with English emigrants from the New England Colonies. The subject of this memoir was born in the year 1760. He was made the subject of converting grace when quite a young man, but made no public profession of his faith until the year 1840, when God in great mercy poured out his Spirit upon the community where he then resided under the ministry of the Rev. Henry Pope, Senr., at which time also all the members of his family were led to give their hearts to God. He was then enabled to rejoice with them in the favor of a covenant keeping God in whom all the families of Israel are blest, and with them made a public profession of faith in Jesus. He ever after took a deep interest in the cause of religion. In his younger days he was a teacher of music, and led the choir in the old Wesleyan chapel in Cornwallis for many years. He was also engaged as a class-leader in the Church. Although troubled with some physical infirmities which were induced by chronic disease, in addition to the infirmities of old age, yet his mental faculties remained surprisingly clear and bright until the last. His mind was ever active in the interests of his fellow creatures, both in religious and civil matters, until within a very short period of his death. His sight continued so good he lost none of his desire for reading, and his hearing remained so perfect that he could engage in conversation with the utmost ease, and would always do so with the greatest satisfaction. His experience was always peace with God, but his faith increased and grew stronger and brighter as he drew near the swellings of Jordan. He was on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. L. Newcomb, Lower Horton, when taken with his last sickness, where he was kindly nursed and watched over by his children and friends through his distressing illness, which continued seven weeks. He remains were taken to the Canard burial ground, Cornwallis, followed by relatives and friends, and laid beside the companion of his youth.
