General Notes: Husband - M. H. Borland

---

When nine years of age he came with his parents to Cecil township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and there received a district-school education. After marriage, he and his wife settled on the farm of 157 acres in Cecil township, which was situated on Miller's run.
The proprietors of the Ridgeway Bishop Coal Company bought twenty acres of the farm, which had railroad facili­ties, making it easy of access to Pittsburgh.
In August, 1862, Mr. Borland enlisted in Company G, One Hundred and Twenty-third P. V. I., for a term of nine months, and was assigned to the army of the Potomac, taking part in the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. He received an honorable discharge in May, 1863, at Harrisburg, PA, and returned to his farm in Cecil township. In politics he voted with the Republican party; he was justice of the peace several years; served in various other positions, and was secretary of the school board for ten years. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church at Venice, Washington County.
