SAMUEL HOLDERMAN, Morris, was born in Marion, Marion Co., Ohio, October 9, 
1828. His parents were among the first settlers of Grundy County, settling in 
Holderman's Grove, then La Salle County, in 1831. The following year (1832), 
they were compelled to flee to the settlement where Pekin now stands for 
security from the Indians, then on the war-path. In July, 1852, our subject 
was married to Miss Martha H. COKE, daughter of Charles H. COKE, of Grundy 
County. She was born in England September 15, 1830, and died in Felix 
Township, Grundy County, on the 29th of April, 1866. The result of this union 
was six children - Charles H., born January 19, 1854, married to Miss 
Elizabeth PEACOCK, of Morris; Mary E., born May 22, 1855, died December 25, 
1877; Charlotte M., born January 19, 1857, married T. FURGESON in April, 1880; 
William E., born December 22, 1858; Caroline M., October 22, 1860, and Orville 
S., December 5, 1863. During the life of his first wife, Mr. HOLDERMAN lived 
on a farm in Felix Township, Grundy County. In January, 1872, he married Mrs. 
Elizabeth KING, widow of Alondas KING, and sister of his former wife. Mr. 
HOLDERMAN has, by his enterprise, assisted largely in giving character to the 
business of his county. He is now engaged, in connection with his two sons, 
Charles and William, in the stock business in Wyoming and Utah. He also has an 
interest in three gold and silver mines in Southern Utah. With these, his son-
in-law, FURGESON, is connected. Mr. HOLDERMAN spends the greater portion of 
his time in the West, where his business interests call him. His residence is 
on Fremont avenue, Morris. His politics are Republican.
