The Little Rock True Democrat, Nov 5, 1862, p 1, c 3 & 4
(transcribed 02/18/06)
Copy from The Arkansas History Commission
THE LITTLE ROCK TRUE DEMOCRAT
Wednesday: November 5, 1862 p 1, c 3 & 4
OBITUARY. --- Mary Isabel Borland, wife of Col Solon Borland, died at Little Rock,
Oct 22, 1862, in her 39th year.
This talented, beloved, and now much lamented lady, the only child of George
and Mary D Melbourne, was born in Concordia parish. La, Oct 3, 1824, received her
education at Mrs Tevis School in Shelbyville, Ky, and in April, 1844 came with her
parents to reside in Little Rock, where , May 27, 1845, she was wedded to Col
Borland. One son and two daughters blessed their union; and the fond mother, looking
forward to their future, devoted herself with ardor to the proper training of the
youthful minds which God had committed to her guardianship. But her visions of
felicity were cruelly dissipated. The brightest jewel in her family circle, her only
son, who had attained the promising age of 16 years emulating the example of his
older and more sturdy companions, after wringing from his mother a reluctant
consent, entered the army, and at the close of a few months' service, died in Texas,
among friends, but far distant from his loving and beloved parents.
For years a great suffer from complicated disease, this affliction proved too
much for her physical strength, and she was prostrated by it. From that time she
sank rapidly, and neither medical skill nor the untiring and affectionate attentions
of her husband, children and friends, availed anything. Devoted in her family, her
desire to live was strong, especially on account of her young daughters, just at the
age which most needs a mother's care; but, being also an earnest and an humble
Christian, and knowing that her restoration to health was impossible, she resigned
herself the will of her Heavenly Father, and evinced her faith in the precious
promises of God., by paying for permission to put off her mortality, and take her
appointed place with those who love and served Him.
Two years after her mother preceded her to the haven of rest. but her father
still lives, as also her husband and two daughters, to whom she was inexpressibly
dear. While they mourn her loss as one that is to them greater than all others they
could have sustained, and wholly irreparable on earth. they mourn not without hope.
Gone to meet those of her household who have preceded her to Heaven, she is now
waiting there for those she left behind only for a short time her parting injunction
to them having been, to rejoin her in the realms of everlasting rest,
As a great appropriate conclusion to this notice, the following just and sad
eloquent tribute to her memory, from the pen of one by whom she was alike well known
and most highly esteemed, is reproduced from the columns of another journal [The
Arkansas Gazette, Oct 25th, p 2, c 2]:
"Death, the unrelenting devourer of the human family, has rarely laid his
blighting hand upon one so gentle, so amiable, so excellent, so generally beloved.
"Prolonged and painful as her wasting and fatal affliction was, she bore it
with Christian patience, meekness, and fortitude, in the spirit of the submissive
child, who is sensible that the father chastises for its good.
"Though unpretending. she was a gifted, a superior woman. She has an abiding
place in the memories and in the affections of thousands, of the people of this
State, who have listened, in years gone, to the surpassing sweetness and thrilling
modulations of her voice. And in her visits to the Capital of the then United, but
now severed, States, with her distinguished husband, Senators, Statesmen, and the
Ministers of Kings and Emperors, have listened, in the social circle, with
admiration to her wonderful eloquence in song.
"Her harp is broken --- to us her voice is still, in the solemn hush of the
tomb,but we are permitted to believe, that, with renewed voice, and an unfailing
harp, she is charming the ears of kindered spirits in the beautiful land of the
redeemed."

Author: Bill Boggess
(revised: 02/16/06)
+++ POET FANNY GREEN BORLAND +++
Princeton, that picturesque county seat of Dallas County Arkansas created 1 Jan
1845 with its green spire rising above the tree tops, and with its gentler sex busy
comforting the wounded and passing soldiers during our Civil War while their
fathers, husbands and brothers were off doing battle against the Federal forces,
yielded at least one great poet, Fanny Green Borland (1848AR-1879TN)! (spelling in
father's will)
Fanny's poem "The Dead Confederacy" gained world-wide acclaim when, reportedly,
Catholic Priest Father Abram P Ryan (1838/9VA-1886KY) distributed it, in London,
England, with other pieces of her work.. It was published in their Cosmopolitan 21
Dec 1871, so reported in Little Rock Gazette's article, inside front page, Sunday 21
Jan 1872 issue, also see 27 Dec 1865 entry in 1863-1866 published diary of Virginia
Davis Gray!
The Cosmopolitan printed;
"It is with a feeling of pride and sadness that we present this poem to
the British public,..." and,
"We are glad to take this young author by the hand and welcome her among
the ranks of the poets." ,
so said The Daily Arkansas Gazette of her;
"Her first attempt at poetry, when she was but twelve years of age, was
published in the GAZETTE. Even at that early age her fugitive pieces were widely
copied and favorably commented on by the press."
To better understand this brilliant, tender loving, young, charming, talented
teenager, one needs only to read the 1863-1866 diary of artist/writer/school teacher
Virginia Davis Gray (1834ME-1886AR), annoted and published by Dr Carl H Moneyhon,
UALR, in Spring and Summer issues of 1983 Arkansas Historical Quarterly.
Even her name is endearing, --- named by her father for his aunt Fanny Green of
Suffolk, VA who with husband George Godwin, helped raise him in 1820, her
half-brother, Harold in 1840, Solon's nephews Thomas in 1850 and General Euclid in
1851.
Love, and respect flowed freely from the Borland family of Mexican-American War
fame, Major Solon Borland, USA, (1811VA-1864TX) and his third wife, Mary Isabel
Melbourne (1824LA-1862AR), with Mary's magical singing voice thrilling many Arkansan
as well as fellow senators, statesmen, and ministers of Kings while in Washington
City and at home in Hot Springs, Princeton and/or Little Rock.(see;
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/hertford/bios/borland1.txt and
http://www.sallysfamilyplace.com/MulberryGrove/Borland.htm or "That Man Named
Solon", http://www.rootsweb.com/~arpulask/Solon.Borland.html
Fanny, born in Little Rock, "City of Roses", Arkansas to U.S. Senator Solon
Borland, M.D. and Mary Isabel Melbourne, September 1848, moved to Princeton at age
11, most likely attending Princeton Female Academy. Its new head-master in 1860/61
was Oliver Crosby Gray (1832ME-1905AR) with able assist by artist/writer wife
Virginia LaFayette (Davis) Gray (1834ME-1886AR) fresh from Holly Springs,
Mississippi (earlier, Minnesota after 1858 marriage in Maine). Solon was in Memphis,
editor/owner of newspapers and in Feb 1861, defeated in attempt for public office,
returning to Arkansas as aide-de-camp for Governor Rector raising troops and seizing
Ft Smith 24 Apr1861. (see;http://www.rootsweb.com/~arwashin/pics/grays.html or "The
Story of Two ARKANSAS Pioneer School Teachers",
http://www.rootsweb.com/~arpulask/Col.MrsOCGray.html).
With a Civil War approaching, her father, Colonel Solon Borland, CSA, organized,
what later became CSA's 3rd Arkansas Cavalry Regiment (fought in more engagements
than any other Arkansas unit, so said Maj Collier in his 1965 book, "The War Child's
Children" ), in which many from Princeton enlisted 29 Jul 1861, forming Company A,
"Princeton Light Horses", including Oliver Crosby Gray, later its commander.
Her father, with health being at issue, resigned January 1862, returning to
medical practice in Little Rock.
Fanny, with a younger sister to care for, suffered heart-breaking losses: brother
George Godwin Borland (1846AR-1862TX) died 24 Jun 1862, returning home from CSA
service due to bad health, their mother died following an extended illness, 23 Oct
1862, then their father, from his Princeton sick bed, 14 Sep 1863, left for Texas,
leaving funds and two slave girls with widow Mrs Martha Holmes (Capt Wm T.M. Holmes,
killed, 5 Oct 1862 following the blood letting at Cornith, MS where he was in
command of Company A, 3rd Ark Cav) --- to look after his daughters, ages 16 and 14
and there died of pneumonia, first day Jan 1864 near Houston, at age52.
Fanny, according to General John M. Harrell ( a private under Borland 1861) in
1894 publication Confederate Veteran, page 2, also from her front page obituary of
The Memphis Daily Avalanche, --- was among the belles-of-the-ball of Little Rock and
Memphis following the war.
Married at age 20 in Colonel and Virginia Gray's Little Rock home by the very
honorable Reverend Thomas Rice Welch (1825-1886) to James C Moores, a Memphis
saddler, Tuesday morning 21 Apr 1869, moving to Memphis taking with them sister
Mollie. Little Rock's Gazette, among other nice things, wrote
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/shelby/vitals/marriages/borland2m... ;
"The Bluff City has snatched a lovely prize from our 'City of Roses'"!
Fanny visited her surrogate parents/friends Oliver and Virginia Gray at Little
Rock from Memphis many times, so recorded in Virginia's transcribed, unpublished
1867-1872, diary, "The Diverting History of Little Tarley Gray" kept of her son Carl
Raymond (1867AR-1939DC) (later, vice-chairman of Union Pacific RR) and her
transcribed, unpublished, forty letters (1857-1886) to Davis family members.
Tragically, Fanny's life was shortened by the yellow fever epidemic of Memphis,
This terrible event having taken the lives of her and her sister's husbands along
with some 5,000 others in 1878, --- then her on Saturday, 23 Aug 1879, the month
before becoming 31 years old, in her sister's Memphis home. Her death was stated in
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/shelby/obits/m/mooresbo2ob.txt (who was A.
A. L. ??) as;
"...short violent attack of yellow fever."
Surviving was son, George Borland Moores, found with their half-brother, Harold
"Bourland", USMA 1860, (1835NC-1921AR) in 1880 census with sister, Mary (Mollie)
Melbourne (Borland) Beattie (1850AR-1938MO) still in Shelby County, for 1880 census
as "Marg". Mollie soon to become Matron at Arkansas' Deaf Asylum until Jun 1889 when
she, with her three children, became second family of Colonel Oliver Crosby Gray,
whose first wife, her very closest of friends, Virginia, died a lingering cancer
death, 17 Aug1886.
Arkansas History Commission's research project #76-0003, according to Russell
Baker, yielded little, resulting in his article published in Pulaski County
Historical Review, Fall 1981, now found to be partially incorrect.
Russell copied, for me, newspaper articles and guided me to Fred W Allsopp's 1933
published book "The Poets and Poetry of Arkansas".
Special Collections at University of Arkansas has a signed copy of "The Dead
Confederacy" in its files, --- otherwise compilation of Fanny's poetry was not made
nor printed. Her poems and writings, reportedly, were only published in newspapers
and other like publications of the day, of which we have found but five.
Found:
The Dead Confederacy, 12/21/1871, London's Cosmopolitan, & 1/21/1872
Arkansas Gazette, and UA's Special Collection.

~~~~~~~~
COL O C GRAY PASSES AWAY
AT ARKANSAS STATE
INSTITUTION
~~~~~~~~
HIS LIFE AND GOOD RECORD
~~~~~~~~
Head of School for Blind Goes to
Rest After Years Ably Spent
for Welfare of Others
~~~~~~~~
Arkansas Bureau
C E Harper, Mgr.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec 11 --- The funeral of Col O C Gray was held at 3 p m
yesterday at the First Presbyterian Church, the services being conducted by the Rev
J S Edenburn, the pastor. The funeral was under the auspices of the Hugh de Payens
Commandery and was attended by hundreds of leading citizens of Little Rock,
evidencing the high esteem in which the deceased was held. The floral offerings were
numerous and most beautiful. The incidental music was furnished by the pupils of
Arkansas School for the Blind, who looked upon the deceased almost with the
veneration due an indulgent father.
The body was taken to Fayetteville by special train for burial.
Oliver Crosby Gray, superintendent of Arkansas School for the Blind, died at
5:30 p m Saturday at the school, after a six weeks' illness with cerebro-spinal
meningitis. For half of this period his condition has been critical, and while his
death came as shock to the entire state, it was not wholly unexpected, and his
family and friends were in a measure prepared. He was one of the foremost educators
of Arkansas, and his life work has left its deep impress upon the youth of the
state. Many of those who were his pupils in the old St John's College of Little
Rock, and at the State University, are now among the leading men of the state in
business and the professions, while for the unfortunates who have had the privilege
of his tutelage for many years in the School for the Blind he possessed an abiding
affection that has told for their good. He set for them a high ideal in life, in
literary, domestic and mechanical pursuits, and has set the standard of
accomplishment for those unfortunate wards of the state.
His life was active an energetic for good, and in his death Arkansas witnesses
the passing of one of its best beloved and most useful citizens. Possessing an
activity know to few of 73 years, fully abreast of the times in educational
advancement, his noble nature shrank instinctively from strife and dissension,and he
claimed and held indissoluble the loyal friendship of all with whom be came in
contact.
His Life.
O C Gray was born Dec 30, 1832, at Jefferson, Maine. In 1855 he graduated from
Colby College, Waterville, Maine [where son Carl was a Trustee in 1938], being a
classmate of Nelson Dingley who, as Congressman, afterwards became the father of the
historic Dingley tariff. Last spring Col Gray attended the jubilee reunion of his
class at Waterville. After attending Dartmouth College for a time, Mr Gray located
at Minneapolis, Minn., and was superintendent of public schools of that city in
1856-57. In 1858 he came to Arkansas as principal of the Monticello Academy [That
was Monticello Academy in Monticello, MN, then 1859 to Holly Springs, MS, and 1860
to Princeton], for two years. He was principal of Princeton [Female] Academy in
1860-61.
At outbreak of the war, he enlisted as a private in the Third Arkansas
Cavalry, commanded by Col Solon Borland and later Col Hobson and was promoted to the
captaincy of Troop A. In 1864, returning home on a furlough, he was captured and
held prisoner for a time, until he was exchanged and returned to his command. Later
he became lieutenant-colonel [incorrect, captain highest rank obtained] on the staff
of Gen Armstrong, and served under Generals Forrest, Wheeler and Johnston [as
Provost Marshall].
At the close of the civil strife, he returned to the school room in his
adopted state, and was principal of Princeton Female Academy in 1866-67. From 1868
to 1871 he was professor of mathematics in St John's College, at Little Rock, then
the foremost educational institution of the state, and for several years was its
president. [Arkansas School for the Blind dedicated its first built brick building
in 1869 in Col Gray's honor, removed 1948, bricks used in new Governors Mansion]. In
1875 he removed to Fayetteville, and was professor of mathematics [and civil
engineering, to 1879] in Arkansas Industrial University until 1886. He was principal
of [1st school, Washington School] the public schools of Fayetteville in 1887-88 and
then returned to the chair of mathematics in the university for seven years. [Mayor
of Fayetteville 1886-87].
Elected Superintendent.
In 1895 he was elected
superintendent of the Arkansas School for the Blind, which position he held until
death, with the exception of Dr John H Dye in 1899 and 1900, when he was principal
of the Speers-Langford Military Institute at Searcy.
May 27, 1858, Col Gray married Virginia L Davis, who died Aug 17, 1886, at
Fayetteville. By this marriage there were two [three] children both survive. [The
first, Clyde Leslie, 1859-61, buried Princeton with mother's father Capt Geo Davis]
The eldest is Carl R Gray, of St Louis, vice president and general manager of the
Frisco system [1920, president Union Pacific RR, 1937, vice chairman], who has been
a frequent visitor at his father's bedside during his illness, and who had been with
him for over 24 hours preceding his death. The second [third] is Ethel, Mrs Leroy
Kramer, of Kansas, whose husband is in the Frisco service. June 17, 1889, Col Gray
married Mrs Mary N Beattie, a daughter of his old colonel, Solon Bourland (sic,
Borland), and who had two daughters, now living, Misses Grace and Mary Beattie, and
one son, Godwin Beattie. Mrs Gray survives [died 1938].
Col Gray has been a member of the Presbyterian church all his life, and was
one of the oldest members of the Scottish Rite bodies of the Valley of Little Rock.
He was also a member of Magnolia Camp, Masons, Union Chapter, Royal Arch, and Hugh
de Payens Commandery, Knights Templar.
-----------<>-----------
Additional Comments:
Mrs Mary N Beattie was Mary (Mollie) Melbourne Borland (1850AR-1938MO), youngest
daughter of Senator Solon Borland, M D. She moved to Memphis in 1869 with sister
Fanny Green (Borland) Moores, both very dear friends of Virginia Gray, O C's first
wife, and married John M Beattie, of Scotland, 22 Feb 1872. The 1878/9 yellow fever
epidemic in Memphis took her husband, Fanny's husband then Fanny in 1879 along with
some 5000 others, bankrupting the City of Memphis.
Mollie returned to Little Rock after 1880 census and was Matron at the Deaf School
until marrying Oliver Gray. She served as Matron at the Blind school after 1895. She
died in Kansas City, and her ashes were buried with Oliver, 19 February 1938, only
known record being the 18 Feb 1938 obituary in the Northwest Arkansas Times. No
stone or engraved notice is at the grave site. Go to Gray, Mary at:

MRS FANNIE B MOORES.
EDITOR AVALANCHE --- Will you allow a brief notice to Mrs Fannie B Moores,
daughter of the late Senator Solon Borland, of Arkansas, who died this morning,
after a short violent attack of yellow fever. Ten years ago she was a reigning belle
of Little Rock, and enjoyed, as many will remember, considerable celebrity as a
poet. General Albert Pike had a high opinion of her talents in that line, The "Dead
Confederacy," republished in the London Cosmopolitan, and highly complimented by
that journal was one of the best of her productions. "Dilsey at the North,"
portraying the lament of an aged negress for her Southern home of slavery, as
contrasted with that of her new found freedom among strangers, was also very much
praised. "Born Dead," "The Baby of Lillie," and many more of her published pieces,
were highly acceptable to the public, and among the last of her poetical
contributions was a tribute of Walter Harvey [Colonel Harvey Washington WALTER] who
died of yellow fever a year ago, and was a member of Bluff City Gray's. She leaves
behind one child, a son. A. A. L.
Memphis, August 23,1879
