The following obituary was a newspaper clipping copied with one of the pages from a WELLER 
family Bible.  There was no banner or date for the clipping:

Uncle Hardin HOLSCLAW, one of our counties oldest and best known citizens, died in 
Louisville last Wednesday evening, at the age of 82, of the infirmities of old age.

He was born near Shepherdsville in 1820, at a spot on the right-of-way of the L. and  N.  in 
rear to the toll gate.  He was one of the wealthiest citizens of the county, being worth 
about $80,000.  His wealth was made largely by fruit.  In his early days known as Peach 
Hardin.

He leaves a wife and six children, three sons and three daughters.  J. L. HOLSCLAW, R. B.

Louisville.  He also leaves thirty-one grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren.
