Thanks Stan, I've been needing this obituary to fill in the missing married names and locations of the children and siblings of Sarah Jane. The marriage between Sarah Jane (Gilford) Mahoney and John Ephraim Borden took place on 24 November 1874. This is the J. E. Borden who is listed as a merchant and Civil War vet at Colby. He (John Borden), died 11 December 1909 at Los Angeles County California and is buried at the National Home Cemetery at Sawtelle, Los Angeles County, California known today at Los Angeles National Cemetery Section 16, Row G, Site 8.
