General Notes: Husband - Charles Robert Borland

---

Birthdate February 6, 1859. [HBC 1909, 1348]

He grew to manhood on his father's farm in Venango County, Pennsylvania, and when quite young became a clerk in the general store of H. M. Davis, in whose employ he continued for a period of five years. He then clerked one year for Campbell & Mahoney of Reynoldsville, Jefferson County. He formed a partner-ship with his brother, Emerson B. Borland, in 1883, purchasing the store of William Woodburn in Venango County. They con-tinued in partnership for some twenty years, and for a part of that time another brother, Edward Borland, was associated with them. They at one time conducted a hardware store at Emlenton, and a general store at Kane. Prior to the dissolution of the firm in 1903, Edward Borland had charge of the store at Rockland, Emerson B. of the store at Harrisville, and Charles of that at Pittsville. In that year Charles removed to Harrisville, where he continued as a merchant with uninterrupted success. In March, 1908, the store at Rockland was destroyed by fire. Mr. Borland held membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church and in politics was a Prohibitionist. [HBC 1909, 1351]
