Holderman, Abraham, one of the pioneers of Grundy County, was born in Ross 
County, Ohio, January 22, 1822, a son of Abraham and Charlotte (O’Neal) 
Holderman.  The family came to what is known as Holderman’s Grove, in the fall 
of 1831, and there Abraham the younger lived until he was twenty-three years 
old.  At that time he came to Felix Township, Grundy County, but in 1849, he 
moved to Erienna Township, locating upon a quarter section of land and 
developed it to stock and grain raising, becoming one of the substantial and 
wealthy men of Grundy County.  His death occurred November 27, 1887, as the 
result of an accident.  He was thrown from a buggy, and died from the effects 
of the injuries thus incurred.  On May 4, 1847, he married Mary E. Hoge, a 
daughter of William and Rachel Hoge, and they became the parents of five 
children:  A. J., Albert H., Martha J., Landy S. and Samuel D.  Mr. Holderman 
was a Republican and served his township as Supervisor.
