Severt “Doc” Holt			Date indicated as 1959
Holt Dies Sunday                  (From the collection of Vivian Norby 
Andersen)

	Severt (Doc) Holt, 70 a resident of the Soldier community all his 
life, died at his home here Sunday afternoon, June 14.  He had been in ill 
health for several months, but death came sooner than had been expected.  He 
had read the papers that morning.
	Doc, as he was known by everyone, was a bachelor.  He had taken an 
active part in many community affairs, and especially in the Legion and 
community building.  He was always more than willing to give a hand whenever 
needed.  And he was a friend of everyone.
	Funeral services were held at Soldier Lutheran Church Wednesday, June 
17 at 2:00 o’clock.  Rev. F. W. Thomsen of Blair, Nebr. Gave the sermon.  
Burial was in Soldier Valley Cemetery under the direction of Oldham Funeral 
Home.  Soldier Valley Post of the American Legion conducted military rites at 
the cemetery.  Casket bearers were Art Olson, Roy Severson, Irvin Severson, 
Chris T. Olson, Clyde Dickinson and Carl Kaatz.
	Severt Holt, son of Hans and Anna Holt, was born October 28, 1889 near 
Soldier, Iowa and passed away Sunday afternoon, June 14 at his home in Soldier 
at the age of 70 years 7 months and 16 days.  He was baptized and confirmed in 
the Lutheran faith at Soldier.
	He served in World War I overseas and in active combat.  He was a 
member of Veterans of World War 1, Barracks No. 1338 of Soldier, a member of 
the American Legion for forty-nine years, a member of Elk Lodge No. 586, 
A.F.&A.M. at Moorhead and a member of the Consistory.
	“Doc” was a fine citizen, a genial fellow, a friend to all including 
the children, but failing health kept him closely at home the past few years.
	Survivors are his two sisters, Minnie Peterson of the home, Inga 
Mangen of Ute; two brothers, Ole of Soldier and Oscar of Denver, Colo.; six 
nephews, six nieces, a number of other relatives and a host of friends.
