November 7, 1885William Borden died in Portsmouth on the 5th inst. in the 80th year of his age. He was the son of John Borden, and was a lineal descendent of one of the original settlers of Portsmouth. His elder brothers Isaac and Asa Borden, left Portsmouth in early life and went to Watertown, where with the late Joseph Anthony of Newport they were employed in the manufacture of cotton machinery. While they were employed in Watertown, Lowell and Boote came over from England and concieved the idea of establishing cotton anufactories on the Merrimac river at what is now Lowell. The brothers employed at Watertown removed and entered the employment of Lowell and Boote and assisted in making the first cotton machinery operated in that place. Isaac Borden invested his earnings in the mills which were building and thus laid the foundation of his large fortune. William remained at home and cared for his family in Portsmouth. The three brothers were all remarkable men, remarkable for the excellency of their characters, for no stain ever soiled the good name of either. They were all modest, and retiring and neither of them ever obtruded himself in any way improperly into the presence or affairs of another. William was generous and much given to hospitality but he never did a kind act to obtain notoriety or for any other purpose but to the reward which comes from the performance of duty. He was a man of equable temper, of concilitory manners and of unostentatious goodness of character. Though the fruits of his life had ripened him for the harvest all who knew him would have implored the reaper to have held back his stroke. He has left a widow, a son and a grandson to mourn his loss.
