Boardman

Boardman, GEORGE DANA, Burmese missionary, was born in the State of Maine in 1801, and educated at Andover. Ordained in the Baptist Church in 1825, he sailed the same year to the East Indies, and after mastering Burmese, began his labours at Maulmain in May 1827. He had great success, especially in his preaching tours; but the severe strain soon broke down his health, and brought on his death early in 1831. His widow married the more famous Burmese missionary, Judson.
