She was a gifted woman, and a poetess of fine ability. Her husband died in the epidemic of last year.            _____________________               -------<>------- Additional Comments: Her father spelled her name Fanny in his will. Fannie was born September 1848 to Senator and Mrs Borland in Little Rock, raisd in Hot Springs, Princeton and Litte Rock, married 1869 moving to Memphis, son born later that year. Confederate Veteran, January 1894, page 2 Gen. John M. Harrell writes: I wrote from a sickroom, down with la grippe. Your gossipy, genuine, genial "Old VETERAN" comes to cheer me. I congratulate you on republishing the "Dead Confederacy " of Fannie Borland. How appropriate it is now, and was when written, by a girl of not then twenty. It reads to me like a fragment from Keato. It glows with passion, but is crystalline in its pride, mournful and graceful as winter and night, which it invokes. Miss Borland was a great genius who perished too son. I knew her, and saw her in 1870, when she completed a rare quartette of gifted, beautiful girls, that formed the family of Gen. Pike, in Memphis, the others being the Misses Pike and Miss Sallie Johnson, now Mrs. Cabell Breckinridge, each a type of surpassing beauty. Miss Johnson was sole daughter of ex Senator R. W. Johnson, and Miss Borland, eldest daughter of ex Minister Solon Borland.
