Funeral services over the remains of Walter E. Borden, prominent business man of Goldsboro and a member of one of the leading families of eastern North Carolina, who died here Thursday, will be conducted from the residence, on Ashe street, this morning at 11 o’clock. His pastor, Rev. Peter McIntyre of the First Presbyterian church, will officiate.
The hour was first tentatively set at 10:30 o’clock, but the family yesterday requested that the time be moved up 30 minutes.
Thomas F. Borden, son of the deceased, and his wife of Newport, Ky., arrived last night for the funeral. His other son, Walter E. Borden Jr. of Havana, Cuba, will be unable to attend. Others here for the funeral include Mrs. E.E. Smith of Richmond, Va., a sister; and Sydnod Border of Wilson, a brother. Another sister, Mrs. Paul Hutton of Denver, Colorado, and another brother, William H. Borden of San Francisco, have found it impossible to get here in time to be present when the last rites over the body of their brother is performed.
