The deceased who ' was not only very well known here but ' beloved and esteemed for his amiable - qualities, and who for practically his life- | time was engaged in all charitable works, social, religious and otherwise, was born | here in September 1832, Hence, he had ' not eonly long sincc passed Lis “three . Score years wnd ten,”’ but was tasc merg- ing in his 90th year. Truly a blessed age! ' - Through the falling away of trade he - left with his family on the 20th November | 1905 for.Trinidad, where he ever since ‘ resided. He leaves behind a widow, four- | teen children, and alurge number of . grand-children and great-grand-children | tolamenthisloss. All of this large family, . with but the exception of the Widow Mrs. | Vance and daughters and our well-known | and esteemed townsman Corsul David ' O. Bornn, and scns, are residing abroad: | somein New York, others in Havana, | Cuba, but the majority in Trinidad. * It his life time among us, Mr. Bornn | manifested great concern, and evinced | much interest in the uplifi of the poor, | and by his kindness and gentleness won | the hearts of one and all. Nothing was t »f too much trouble for him to undertake: | he was always ready and willine to as- ] sist every good and wor:ihy cause, and ' now that his allotted space on earth is | run, and he has been calied home by the | Master, we can but bow our heads in | submission to the Divine Will, heping ! that a life spent and given to so many | good and useful works will but receive | its just reward in the land of light. | Te the sorrowing and grief-stricken . members of the family we beg to ex- I tend our sincerest sympathy, assuring . them that as the decegsnd was Very in- ~ timate with, and well-known 10 us, that | we toon grieve with them. ‘‘Whatsoever | the Lord pleaseth, he doeth.” He has ~ but taken our departedp friend into ihe “‘realms of bliss and felicity.”’—St. Thom- as Mail Notes, Jan. 19th.
