BOARDMAN, GEORGE DANA (18011.831) , American Baptist missionary, was born at Livermore, Me., and educated at
Waterville
  College and Andover Theological
Seminary
 . In 1825 he went to India as a missionary, and in 1827 to Burma, where his promising
work
  among the Karens was cut short by his early death. His widow married another well-known Burmese missionary, Adoniram Judson.
His son, GEORGE
DANA
 
BOARDMAN
 , the younger (18281903), made the voyage from Burma to America alone when six years of age. He graduated in 1852 at Brown University, and from the Newton Theological Institution in 1855. He held Baptist pastorates at Rochester (1856-1864), and at Philadelphia, and was president of the American Baptist Missionary
Union
 . 188o1884. At Philadelphia he is said to have taken his
congregation
  through every verse of the New Testament in 643 Wednesday evening lectures, which occupied nearly eighteen years, and afterwards to have begun on the Old Testament in similar fashion. Among his published works are Studies in the Model
Prayer
  (1879), and Epiphanies of the Risen Lord (1879).
