  It is my husband's great grandfather, Henry, and his father, Gregorie, story. It also includes members of these families : Everan (Everard) Lhost and Tomas. Contributed by Jean Borman Henry Borman, one of the leading agriculturists of DePere township, Brown County, was born March 18, 1846 , in Belgium, son of Gregorie Borman, who was a farmer under comfortable circumstances. Concluding that he could better his condition by coming to America, the father of our subject in 1857 sold his property and set out with his family for the United States, landing in New York City. Thence they journeyed west to Green Bay, Wisconsin. and, shortly after their arrival, located in Allouez township where Mr. Borman for for 2 years employed in a brickyard. They then came to DePere, at that time but a small village, and for seven years made their home on a farm(now included in the town of De Pere) which they rented from John Lacey. Then in the fall of 1866, they purchased and removed upon the farm of 70 acres now owned by our subject, which at that time was covered by dense forest. They immediately cleared a spot for a house and erected a frame dwelling, which in later years was supplanted by a neat brick cottage, and here Mr. Borman passed the remainder of his days dying in 1883; His wife(Josephine Everan) survived him eight years, and their remains now rest in DePere cemetery. They were both members of the Catholic Church and in politics he was a Democrat. Henry Borman attended school in Belgium until the family came to the United States, after which he completed his education in the then primitive schools of Allouez and DePere townships. On June 21, 1873 he was married in DePere to Hortense Lhost, a native of Belgium, born March 8, 1856, daughter of John Lhost (and Eugenia Tomas), a native of Belgium, who came to the United States in 1869 with his family of 7 children and settled in Brown County, Wis. Immediately after his marriage Mr. Borman took up residence on the farm where he yet lives, and here he has been engaged in general farming, of which by good management and untiring energy, he has made a success. His farm comprises 70 acres of excellent farming land, all of which has been taken from the woods, involving many years of unrelenting toil before the place was reduced to its present fertile condition. Mr. Borman is one of the best-known men in DePere township, where he is highly respected. He is a leader in all enterprises which promise to benefit his township or country and is regarded as a public-spirited, progressive citizen. Politically he is a Democrat, is a staunch supporter of the principles of that party, and in 1893 was elected treasurer of his township, for ten or eleven years previous to which he had surved as supervisor, giving complete satisfaction in that office. He and his wife are members of St. Francis Catholic Church in DePere. They have had children as follows: Mary, John E., Victor J., Victoria, Emily, Constant, Julia, Celia, Willie, living and others who died in infancy.
