Lucille Papin Borden, 1873-1962

I would rate her at the most important of all the names that have emerged in our exchanges.  I found her name in a back issue of AMERICAN CATHOLIC WHO'S WHO which listed her as a resident of Bar Harbor.  She was a native of St. Louis, MO, and married a Gerald Mark Borden in 1898.

The St. Louis Area Studies Center is sending me a copy of the obituary.  I will forward one to you.  In the meantime I found that she and her husband had a summer home in Bar Harbor. Mr. Borden died in 1958.
