Boardman another child was also given, which was called Judson Wade Boardman a trio of as illustrious names as ever were engraved on the records of the church militant. He lived but a short time, descending to the grave leaving another vacant place in the mother's heart. In 1828 Mr. Boardman determined to leave Tavoy for a while and visit the Karen villages in the interior.

Uncomplainingly she performed her arduous labors, while day after day her health grew poorer and her cheek paler. It was at Tavoy that Ko Thah-byu was "buried with Christ by baptism." In his early days he had been a very wicked man.
