The funâ€" eral procession was headed by the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band, under the leaderâ€" ship of Bandmaster F. J. Wolno, thi band playing the Dead March all along the route to the church. The band music seemed to have a special meanâ€" ing and value, the members of the band no doubt feeling that they were paying tribute to their old friend, who had beer one of the first presidents of the Band and one of its original organizers. Chie?f Leo Gagnon, of Timmins, Chie! C. McInnis, of Tisdale and other offi cials were in the front of the processior as a tribute to the dead Fire Chief. The funeral procession included the following :â€" Timmins Citizens‘ Band. Timmins Police Force Tisdale Police Force. Hollinger Police. Provincial Police. St. John Ambulance representative. Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Canadian Legion. The funeral services at Timmins on Monday, June 14th, will long be reâ€" membered, just as the man himself will be. The body rested at the residence of his son, Mr. Alex Borland, Jr., 76 Balsam street, south, from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning. Memâ€" bers of the Timmins Fire Dept, in uniâ€" form kept constant guard beside the body of their deai Chief, the men takâ€" ing this voluntary duty in relays. The funeral of Fire Chief Alex Borâ€" land on Monday morning of this week was one of the largest and most impresâ€" sive ever held in this North Land. And well it might be so, for literally the whole community, as well as other parts of the North, mourned the death of ,a man who for over thirty years had takâ€" en a leading place in the activities of the North and in the affection and reâ€" gard of the people. Fire Chief Alex Borland, who was over 77 years of age, was il1 only about a week. Previous to that he had apâ€" parently been in excellent health, though troubled occasionally with what he considered minor complaints. He enjoyed a degree of health and strength, however, that would have »neen envied by the average man twenty years younger. On Friday, June 4th, he seemed to be suffering from a slight touch of the ‘flu. On the following day he fainted and fell, cutting his foreâ€" head on one of the stair steps, but his vitality seemed to bring him through these troubles, and on Sunday, June 6th, he appeared to be well on the way to recovery. On the following Tuesday he took a turn for the worse and was taken to St. Mary‘s hospital. On Satâ€" urday morning, June 12th, he passed away. His friends are pleased to know that he did not suffer during his last iliness, and that he died, as he had lived, close to his work and his people.
