Roland Borton Sr.

Funeral services for Roland Borton Sr. were held last Saturday at the home of his son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Borton, where for many months he had been tenderly cared for. He was one who was very quiet, always helpful, as long as he could be, kind, generous never speaking ill of another, ifis prayer is answered, he has “gone on” leaving with his children grand children, relatives, friends and the Masonic brotherhood for whom he had the utmost love and confidence and under whose auspices the funeral rites were conducted a very singular impression of loneliness.
