Death of Gus Holden
Taken Ill on Way to Pickens and Died in Walhalla

The news of the death of Gus Holden, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Elias Holden, 
who reside in Rabun county, Georgia, was learned in Walhalla last Thursday with 
deep sorrow by our people. Mr. Holden was known to a wide circle here and also 
in Georgia and was universally liked. He left his home on Thursday morning, 
November 12th, on a pleasure trip to his uncle's, John Holden, at Central. He 
was taken sick on the road and got as far as Walhalla, stopping at the home of 
Mr. and Mrs.J.M. Moody. Drs. Thode, Bell and Sloan were called in to see the 
patient, whom they found to be suffering from what was supposed to be an attack 
of appendicitis. An operation was necessary. Mr. Holden, being too weak to 
stand a trip to the hospital, Dr. Black and a trained nurse from Greenville 
were telephoned for on Wednesday morning, and an operation was performed on 
that evening. Mr. Holden died on Thursday at 3 o'clock p.m. He was twenty-two 
years of age, a kind-hearted young man,and a Christian. He joined the Mount 
Pleasant church in Georgia some years ago. He leaves to mourn his death a 
father and step-mother, three brothers, and four sisters, and a wide circle of 
friends. His remains were taken to Georgia on Friday morning and were laid to 
rest in the Holden burying ground. In their sad bereavement the family of the 
deceased have the deep sympathy of many friends.
