HOWARD W. HOLLIS

Howard W. Hollis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hollis, residing on North Eighth 
street, Columbia, died on Saturday in the Boston Hospital, Boston, Mass., after 
suffering for some months from a chronic ailment.  He had been advised by his 
physician to take the rest cure and entered the hospital last Tuesday.  The 
parents received a letter Thursday stating that his condition was good, but he 
suffered a relapse and died suddenly.  He was 43 years old, and was a resident 
of Columbia for nearly 15 years.  About thirteen years ago he moved to Wareham, 
Mass., and was the superintendent of the Standard Horseshoe Company, of that 
place.  He is survived by his wife, one son Howard and one daughter Ellma, 
residing at Wareham.  He is also survived by his father and mother, one brother 
William, two sisters, Jenny, of Columbia, and Gertrude, wife of Charles Wagner, 
of Lancaster.  He was a member of the Evergreen Lodge No 66, Knights of Pythias, 
of Columbia; the Red Men, and the Masonic fraternity of Wareham.  He was also a 
member of the Methodist church.  Mr. and Mrs. Hollis have left for Wareham, and 
the body will be brought to Columbia on Tuesday.
