Boone County Recorder, dated 23 February 1898, pg. 4 col. 3-4, Obituary of
Eliza A. Byland Holder:
"Walton"  "Mrs. William Holder, who was so terribly burned by gasoline on
the 5th (being a Sunday) of this month, died of lock-jaw, last Thursday
(being 17 Feb. 1898), the 11th inst.  She suffered untold agonies ere death
relieved her.  Mrs. Holder was born in Kenton county, and was about 45 years
of age. She has been a member of the Baptist church about 18 years. The
funeral discourse was preached by Rev. G. W. Hill in the presence of a large
concourse of relatives and friends at the Baptist church, Saturday at 11
o'clock, after which the remains were laid to rest in the beautiful city of
the dead, there to await the final resurrection. Mrs. Holder leaves a
husband and one daughter to mourn their loss. She has two brothers, Sam
Byland of Bank Lick, and Johnnie Byland, of Walton. The family have the
sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. Mr Holder and
daughter extend their thanks to their many friends for the kindness shown
them in their trouble."
also in col. 3 (same pg.) was the following: "Mr. and Mrs. Callahan, of
Verona, attended the funeral of Mrs. Wm. Holder, Saturday."
"Lafe Holder, of Elliston Station, was the guest of his brother, Ed. Holder,
Saturday night."
"Mrs. Fannie Byland returned to her home in Covington, Monday, after a visit
of a few days to relatives at this place (Walton)."

Boone County Recorder, dated 02 March 1898, pg. 5 col. 4, Obituary of Eliza
A. Byland Holder:
"IN MEMORIAM" "Saturday the 5th of February, 1898 the village of Walton was
the scene of an accident most appalling in its nature which resulted in the
death of sister Eliza A. Holder, wife of Mr. William Holder, a most
excellent lady, which has cast a gloom over the entire community.  Sister
Holder had washed a dress skirt in gasoline and hung it before the fire when
the vapor arising from the gasoline ignited and enveloped her in flames,
burning her so severely that despite  all that could be done by loving
hearts and willing hands to save her life, after two weeks of intense
suffering the grim monster death claimed her as his own.  Sister Holder was
born September (Sunday) 12th, 1852, being 45 years, 5 months and 5 days old
at the time of her death (which occured on 17 Feb. 1898).  October 24, 1877
(on a Wednsday) she was married to Wm. Holder (her maiden name being Eliza
A. Byland). She professed faith in the blessed Master October, 1880, and
united with the Baptist church at Walton and remained a consistent member of
that church until her death.  Sister Holder was kind and pleasant, faithful
to her friends and no one could exhibit greater delight in entertainment of
her friends at her lovely home.  But her cheerful sprit has flown from that
home  and a dark pail has fallen over it that coming years will not suffice
to remove.  She leaves a devoted husband and loving daughter to mourn the
loss of a faithful wife and affectionate mother.  But their loss is her
eternal gain.  She has passed beyond the boundary of pain and suffering,
sorrow and death; she has gone into the presence of Him who has said He will
wipe all tears from our eyes and in whose presence is .....less of joy
forevermore.  We would commend them for comfort in this dark hour of
bereavement to Him who is able to heal the deepest wound and  console the
most disconsolate heart.  Her funeral sermon was preached by the writer in
the Baptist church at Walton, Saturday, February 19th, 1898 at 11 o'clock a.
m.  from 1st. Cor. 13:12, to a large congregation of sorrowing relatives and
friends who had gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to one they
loved.  After which she was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery which
surrounds the church, to wait that morning when the voice of Him Who awoke
the sleeping Lazarus, shall awake the sleeping nations of earth..Until then
dear sister, rest in peace...." G. W. Hill
