Guthridge Lee Holland is a North Carolinian, born March 13, 1844. He 
is a son of William J. and Sarah (Moore) Holland, who were born in 
Maryland and North Carolina in 1812 and 1818, respectively. After 
leaving home the father went to Georgia, thence to North Carolina, and 
afterward located in Arkansas. Five children were the result of his 
union with Miss Moore: Martha Jane (deceased), Guthridge L., Thomas M. 
(a farmer of Benton County, Ark.), Josephine (deceased) and William

Arkansas with his parents when he was twenty-four years of age. He 
enlisted in the Confederate army when he was eighteen or nineteen 
years of age, was in Gen. Robert E. Lee's command the greater part of 
the time, and was present when Lee surrendered. He resided with his 
parents until his marriage, in 1873, with Miss Arabella Cook, who was 
born in Kentucky, January 27, 1850, and to them the following children 
have been born: Edgar Milton, Robert Leslie, Florence A., William J., 
Minnie and Charles Otto. Mr. Holland is a Democrat in his political 
views, and his first presidential vote was cast for Horace Greeley. He 
owns 300 acres of good land in the valley of Osage Creek, and is one 
of the progressive and enterprising farmers of Benton County. His wife
