4417 Mr. V. I. Stirman is truly one of Henderson county's best known and most substantial citizens. He was born right here in this county on August 13, 1855, and will therefore be seventy years old in a short time. And he has spent practically all his life here. His schooling was had in Henderson county, and his education was pretty thorough, too, for during his young manhood he was for a few years engaged in teaching. One year he taught here in his home town of Athens, and another year was spent in school work in the town of Kaufman.

Like most all the young men of his day he had his experience at farming, but that didn't appeal to him, and he took to mercantile pursuits. Mr. Stirman was married to Miss Ida Pickle in 1879, and they have reared two children, one son, W. B. Stirman, and one daughter now Mrs. Tom Faulk, both now residing in Athens.

Mr. Stirman is a substantial and outstanding citizen of the county. His name is familiar to almost every man, woman and child within the county. He has been engaged in the drug business for the past thirty-six years, with exception of about three months, when he had sold out. He came right back into business again and the Powers Drug Company is owned and controlled by Mr. Stirman and his son, W. B.

Mr. Stirman has always been a booster for his home town and it is with pride that he has seen it grow from a frontier village to a splendid little city, with modern conveniences. His place of business shows that he has been one of the progressive type of citizens. He has been identified with every movement of an educational nature whereby his town was interested. He is an active and consistent member of the Christian Church, and in all religious matters he has been a valuable ally.

In politics, Mr. Stirman has always been affiliated with the Democratic Party, but has only once consented to become an office holder, and at one time he served Henderson County as County Superintendent of Schools. He prefers to cast his vote fro his choice and let the other fellow hold the offices.

Taken all around, Mr. Stirman has been a useful and loyal citizen of Athens, and no man enjoys a wider circle of staunch friends than he.

4418 MR. W. H. BORDEN DEAD.

Brief Sketch of His Busy and Useful Life.

Goldsboro, N.C., Aug. 15.--A little after two o'clock this morning, as stated in the last edition of the News and Observer, Mr. William H. Borden of this city passed away. He died with an abiding faith in God, fully realizing that the great change was but passing from a lower to a higher sphere, where there should be no more pain and sorrow and where God should wipe away all tears. He was stricken several days ago with heart trouble from which he never rallied. He was born in Goldsboro on the 27th day of April, 1841, being in the 67th year of his age. He was the son of the late Arnold Mariah Borden and the brother of Mr. E. B. Borden, president of the Bank of Wayne, of this city; the late Capt. J. C. Borden, Mrs. H. M. Dewey, Mrs. J. F. Miller and the late Mrs. W. F. Kornegay.

Mr. Borden was a graduate of the State University, was fond of letters, and notwithstanding a busy commercial life, found much time to read and was one of the best informed men of the community. Strong in mind and body, he could accomplish a great deal in a short length of time.

Mr. Borden was married three times, his first wife being Miss Susan Edmundson, the mother of Mr. Walter E. Borden, of this city, Mrs. Sue Douglass, of Charleston, S. C.; Mrs. Dr. Georgia Cobb, of this city and the late Mrs. Julia Jerman. The second wife was a Miss Julia Edmundson, the mother of Mrs. Dr. Sallie Hutton, of New Mexico, and Mr. Will Borden, of New York; his third wife who survives him was Mrs. Hattie Kennedy, the mother of Miss Rachael Borden and Sydnor Borden.

Mr. Borden loved Goldsboro and was devoted to its interests. Furthermore, he accomplished a great deal for the city, for having faith in his town, he was one of the pioneer manufacturers when he established a factory for the manufacture of buggies, thus giving employment to a number of people. Later he began the manufacture of furniture on a large scale, and employed hundreds of skilled laborers.

He was a member of St. Paul M. E. church, of this city, and was devoted to its interests.

The death of Mr. Borden was heard with deep regret in Raleigh where he had many friends. He frequently visited at the home of Mr. B. S. Jerman, whose first wife was Mr. Borden's daughter. Mr. Borden was a successful man of affairs, public spirited and deeply concerned in what concerned the welfare of his State, his party, or his church. He lived a useful and exemplary life and leaves an honored name to his children and grandchildren.

4422 Mrs. Fannie King, who was the daughter of Rev. Moses Holland and the wife of the Rev. Robert King, was born April 15, 1794; was married in early life; consecrated herself to the service of Christ while yet young and when her husband was called to the work of the Gospel Ministry and set apart by the Church at Neal's Creek to that sacred office, her's was a privilege of reaching him to read the Word of Divine Truth, which he has so faithfully since declared to others, making many wise unto salvation. She was indeed a devoted wife to the husband of her choice and by reason of her superior attainments, and constant study of God's word, she became not only his literary teacher but his theological instructor, comprehensive commentator and home concordance. She became and was at the time of her death, the mother of twelve children, four sons and eight daughters, all of whom she had instructed in the ways of the Lord and by word and example constrained them to "remember their Creator in the days of their youth." She lived to see them all consistent and useful members of the Baptist Church and two of her sons ministers in the same. When her work on earth and in the Militant Kingdom of our Lord was completed, she heard the blessed invitation from the King of Kings, "Come up higher, and she quietly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, the 15th of July, 1873, aged 70 years and 3 months. Hers was a triumphant death; no dread, no string was felt. May our last end be like hers! M. M. (Strom Thurmond Institute at Clemson University).  HOLLAND, Frances E. (I4015)
 
4423 MRS. GEORGIA ELVENIA BURKE LAND
 
Throughout the history of Wilkinson County the Burke family has always taken a most prominent part in political affairs and has ever held a high place in the affections of the people generally. The family is said to have come to Wilkinson from South Carolina. The earliest record of their being in this county was in 1833, when Daniel Burke bought land lot 235 in the 23rd land district, what is now known as the "Old Lee Place." Daniel had asister, Margaret, who married William Chapman of this county. Daniel was probably the son of Nimrod who served as 2nd Lieutenant 10th Company, Washington County Regiment of Militia, Oct. 16, 1787, Sept. 6, 1790, and Lieutenant 8th Company, Washington County Regiment Militia, March 29, 1793, and _______ (Morgan) Burke.

It will be noted that Nimrod is a family name found in every generation. Few families have throughout their history produced more leaders and influential men and women than has the Burke. Not merely has this family always borne the reputation for loyalty to friends but a family whose members could be depended upon to exert themselves to the utmost in helping their friends.
 
No one is more justly proud of her descent from such a lineage than is Mrs.Georgia Elvenia Land of Allentown. She was born October 26, 1865, the daughter of John ( Jan. 19, 1817-Apr. 14,1887) and Sarah Carswell Burke. The parents of John were Daniel and Mary (Trulock) Burke, the children being Artemissa, (m.William Brown) ; Peggy, (in. J. A. P. Methvin) ; Elizabeth, (m. Samuel Meredith) ; Sarah, (m. 1st Philips and 2nd W. W. Lee) ; Nimrod, (m. Elizabeth Butler, daughter of Joel Butler) ; John.
 
Onher mother's side, Mrs. Land is connected with the prominent Carswell family,Sarah being the daughter of Samuel Martin Carswell (see Carswell sketch). The children of John and Sarah were: Mary, m. 'William Watkins; Rhura, m. Robert Slaughter ; John M., m. 1st Fannie McNair, 2nd, her sister, Estelle McNair ;Betty, m. John Sinquefield ; Mattie, m. Bill Daughtry ; Georgia; Jennie, m. I.N. Meadows; Lottie, m. Mark Faulk.
 
Our subject was married May 10, 1888, to John T. Land (Dec. 20, 1846-July 2, 1918)of Twiggs County, an uncle of Judge Max Land of the Industrial Commission and also of former State School Superintendent Fort Land. Their children are: Burke, m. Elizabeth Carter; All Truitt, Florence, Georgia and Thomas H. m. Minnie Lee Prevatte. Her love for her family is most beautiful. No mother ever lived who was more devoted to her children. She is a consistent member of the Methodist Church.

4430 Mrs. Mollie H. Bartlett, age 77, wife of the late J. M. Bartlett, died at her home here Thursday night [January 26, 1928] at 10:30 o'clock following a week's illness. Mrs. Bartlett had been in failing health for the past few months, but her condition was not considered serious until about a week preceding her death.

Mollie H. Clopton was born at Murphreesboro, Tenn., Nov. 28, 1850, being 77 years and two months old at the time of her death. She came with her parents to Texas in early childhood and settled at Chatfield, then the most important town in this section of the country. On March 20, 1872, she was married to J. M. Bartlett, and a short time afterwards they moved to a farm near Rice where Mr. Bartlett engaged in livestock raising, the gin business and various other enterprises. About forty years ago they moved to Rice where they resided continuously until their deaths. Mr. Bartlett preceded his wife to the grave by nearly six years, having died here in July 1922.

Mrs. Bartlett was a consecrated member of the Methodist Church, having professed religion and united with the Church in early childhood. In her earlier days she was an active church worker, but in her latter years, when declining years had overtaken her, her favorite pastime was reading the Bible and silently communing with her God.

Mrs. Bartlett belonged to that rapidly vanishing type of old Southern womanhood. She was kind, gentle and cultured, and above all, she was devoted to her home and to those whom it was her duty to care for. She was unselfish and generous in all things. Her chief life's work was in making those about her happy and cheerful. The memory of her deeds will live long after she has passed out.

Mrs. Bartlett was the mother of seven children, four boys and three girls, all of whom survive. They are B. C. Bartlett, W. D. Bartlett, Mrs. W. S. Parker, H. C. Bartlett, Mrs. W. R. Smith, R. F. Bartlett, of Rice, and Mrs. R. C. Norwood of Ennis [Benjamin Clopton Bartlett, Will D. Bartlett, Mary Parker, Hiram Callaway Bartlett, Addie Smith, Roger Frost Bartlett, Jessie Norwood]. There are 22 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Smith, Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock and were conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. H. Bowman, with Rev. W. H. Day, pastor of the Baptist Church assisting. Interment took place in Rice Cemetery. All business houses closed during the hour of the funeral. The two banks in Rice remained closed during the day in her memory.

Her husband was one of the organizers of the First State Bank, and one son, H. C. Bartlett, is still a director of that institution. Her son-in-law, W. R. Smith, is vice president of the First National Bank.

4431 Mrs. Moore was born in in Keokuk County, Iowa on Jun 2, 1863, the daughter of George and Emily Storm. The latter's maiden name was [also] Moore. She came to Mesquite when she was 14 in 1877 with her parents and the other children, making the trip by train. There were eleven in the family -- Mr. and Mrs. Storm and nine children. Alighting from the train at the depot here, they inquired the way to the Leroy Porter place, about a mle and a half southeast of Mesquite, and then walked there. The Porter family had come here earlier from the same Iowa community. They spent the night at the Porter home and the next day rented the Frost place, in the same community by further away from Mesquite. They remained there one year and then rented land on the Hanby place, north of Mesquite. From there they went to Cooke County and lived there one year.

They came back to Mesquite and on Sept. 16, 1879, she married William Thomas Moore, and they lived on a farm two miles east of Mesquite until December 20, 1900, when they moved to Mesquite, occupying a house that stood on the present site of the Mesquite Cooperative Gin Co. Mr. Moore, who was a deputy sheriff of Dallas County, came home ill that night. He developed pneumonia and died eight days later on Dec. 28, 1900

Four years later, Mrs. Moore bought her present home on Terrell street at Allen, from Ed F. Vanston and later enlarged it by tearing down the two front rooms and building a two story section for four rooms, two below and two upstairs, with the rear of the house remaining one story in height.

For many years Mrs. Moore conducted a boarding house, doing her own cooking and was famous for her good biscuits and pies. Mrs. Moore sais that she had baked enough pies to reach from Mesquite to Washington. Mrs. Moore recallas that she saw a negro for the first time in her life on the train on the way to Texas and that she was afraid of him. She also recalls that when she came here there were two business establishments here -- one general merchandise store and a saloon. The Leroy Porter refrrred to above was the father of the late W. J. (Bill) Porter and the latter owned the original Porter farm at the time of his death several years ago. It now belongs to Oscar McDearman.

Mr. and Mrs. Moore were the parents of nine children, five of whom lived to be grown and married and are still living, as follows: Mrs. Maggie Johnson of Tacoma, Wash., Mrs Ethel Cole who makes here home with her mother; Cleve Moore, also of Mesquite and Earl and Forrest Moore both of Dallas. She has twenty two grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. She is a member of the Presbyterian church.

Mrs. Moore's life has been an exemplary one in all respects. The editor has lived next door to her for thirty-four years and knows whereof he speaks. She enjoys the respect of everyone and the affectionate regard of those who know her well.
