Holderman A son of Abraham and Mary E. (Hoge) Holderman, the gentleman whose name heads this sketch was born in Grundy county, July 21, 1865. In the public schools he obtained his preliminary education, which was supplemented by study in the Morris Normal, and thus well fitted for the practical duties of life he entered upon his business career as a farmer. During his boyhood he had become familiar with all the duties and labors that fall to the lot of the agriculturist, and throughout his career he has engaged in the work of the fields. Everything about his place is neat and attractive in appearance. He occupies the old homestead, which is endeared to him by the associations of his boyhood as well as those of his later years. As a farmer he is wide awake and practical, and the well tilled fields and substantial buildings indicate his careful supervision and his thrift and enterprise. Success has already attended him in his efforts and will doubtless bring to him still further financial reward in the future. In 1896 was celebrated the marriage of Samuel D. Holderman and Miss Mae E. Wilcox, a daughter of Dr. George G. Wilcox, of Seneca, Illinois. The young couple have made many friends in this locality and enjoy the hospitality of many of the best homes in this section of the county. In his political views Mr. Holderman is a Republican, warmly espousing the principles of the party. He is now serving as town supervisor, and the efficient and prompt manner in which he discharges his duty has won him the commendation of the public.
