Celebrates 90th Birthday. Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio.  Feb 2, 1906. Page 1. February 2, 1906
John Holliger pleasantly celebrated his ninetieth birthday anniversary 
Saturday, by entertaining relatives at his home.  About thirty were present at 
this delightful family gathering and a birthday dinner was served.  Those 
present were Dr. F.E. Zumstein and family, Miss Minnie Wisner of Detroit; F. 
Holliger and wife, J. McInnis and wife, Mmes. R. Negele, R. Reutinger, George 
Cornelius, George Roether and Miss Margaret Turner of Toledo; Rev, E.A. Tovey 
and wife, George Kemp and family, R. Danz and family and Mrs. Samuel Fahrer.

	John Holliger and wife located in Perrysburg in 1854.  The pioneers of 
the Maumee Valley are each year becoming fewer; old age is creeping up on those 
who are left, and it is indeed a privilege to know one of these, and to hear 
from his own lips, stories of those earlier days.

	Mr. Holliger has lived a life of usefulness and is well preserved for 
his years.  He is widely and favorably known and has set an example for the 
rising generation, of sobriety, honesty, and industry.  He is a Christian man 
who shows forth his belief in his daily life.  In the pioneer days his home was 
a haven of rest to emigrants; his purse was always open to the needs of the 
poor, and now in his old age with his estimable wife, he is enjoying the fruits 
of his labors.

	John Holliger and wife celebrated their golden wedding in 1901 and 
their relatives took advantage of that happy event to demonstrate the affection 
in which this worthy couple is held.
