Drowned
Like the lightning's flash came the sad message last
night of the death of Mr. Nathan G. Holleman. He met
death at an unguarded moment, and without a single
witness. He lay drowned in the bottom of the creek at
Lamar's Mill almost 48 hours before being found. The
facts as best we can understand them are as follows:
Mr. Holleman went over to Culloden on business
Saturday. Returning alone, late in the afternoon,
reached Lamar's Mill, three miles from his home,
sometime early in the night. At or near the mill, his
horse, it is supposed, took fright, ran down the bluff
into the creek back of the mill with Mr. Holleman in
the buggy. Here the horse managed too free himself from
the buggy leaving it and Mr. Holleman buried in the
water. The horse came up some time Monday wearing a
collar only, which lead to the belief that Mr. Holleman
had met with some mishap. A party was sent out in
search and about sundown yesterday the startling
discovery was made as related above. Mr. Holleman was
about 34 years old and leaves a wife and three
children. His remains will be interred in the family
cemetery near his home today. He is the son of Hon.
George T. Holleman and has a large circle of friends
with whom the Herald joins in extending sympathy to the
bereaved family.
