Nearly a Century: John Holliger Passes Away at Age of 94 Years. Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio. Apr. 21, 1911. Page 1
	The passing of John Holliger on Easter morning takes from our village 
one of its best known and most highly esteemed citizens, and the oldest 
inhabitant of the village.

	John Holliger was born in Emfelden, Switzerland, Canton Argau, January 
26, 1817.  In October, 1852 he was united in marriage with Miss Eliza Sigerist, 
and in 1855 they came to this country locating in Perrysburg where they have 
since resided.

	Mr. Holliger was a tailor by trade and worked at this business almost 
continuously until about three years ago, when he became too feeble to longer 
continue the work.  For many years he occupied the brick building on Front 
street adjoining the Journal office where he did extensive business.

	There were no children born to this family, but two nieces were raised 
and educated by Mr. and Mrs. Holliger - Rosa Mathis, now Mrs. R. Danz of 
Perrysburg, and Rosa Holliger, now Mrs. McGinnis, of Toledo.

	In 1902 Mr. and Mrs. Holliger celebrated their golden wedding and the 
occasion was one that brought to the venerable gentleman many rembrances from a 
host of friends who had long known him as one of our most highly respected 
citizens.

	Mr. Holliger was a member of the Evangelical church, and had always 
lived a devout christian life.

	For the past two years he had frequently expressed the hope that he 
might be called away, and on Easter morning at about 7 o'clock he closed his 
eyes as though in sleep to awake in the great hereafter.

	The funeral services were held at the Evangelical church on Tuesday at 
1 o'clock p.m. by Rev. Zachman, and the remains placed at rest in Ft. Meigs 
cemetery.
