J. R. HOLMAN

James R. Holman was born in Ray county, Missouri, August 15, 1849. After finishing
the common school course here, our subject attended college at Columbia, Missouri,
and subsequently took a commercial course at St. Louis. Mr. Holman has been dealing
in stock during the past fifteen years, and is now, perhaps, the largest shipper in
the county. He owns one thousand acres of land, about four hundred acres in the
prairie, all fenced, handsomely improved, and stocked with the best breeds of horses,
cattle, sheep, and hogs. He is one of the most prominent and successful farmers in
Ray county. Mr. Holman was married, in 1868, in this county, to Miss Eliza Lanier.
The issue of this union was one child. Mrs. Holman died in 1872, and our subject was
again married, March 11, 1874, to Miss Martha Johnson, by Rev. Hardy Holman. They
have one child. Mr. Holman is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and a highly
respected and influential citizen.?
