ROBERT H. HOLMES,

one of the prosperous farmers of Post Oak township, was born in
Rockbridge county, Virginia, June 15, 1834.  He came to Johnson county
with his parents, in 1849.  When he was about twenty-two years of age,
he engaged in freighting goods across the plains, from Kansas City to
the west.  After spending three years in this employment, he returned
home, and was married, on the 14th day of September, 1860, to Miss
Adelia Jane Caldwell.  She was born in Kentucky.  In June, 1862, Mr. H.
enlisted in the confederate service, and served until the close of the
war.  He is now in possession of a valuable farm of 224 acres of well-
improved land, and a tract of 200 acres of timber.  He is largely
interested in stock raising, and is comfortably situated.  Himself and
family are members of the Baptist church, and are among its warm
supporters and advocates.
