EMILY SUSAN PINNER HOLLADAY 

AGED LADY’S DEATH 

  Mrs. Emily Susan Holladay, widow of the late Major Francis D. Holladay, who 
saw Confederate service in the Sixteenth Virginia Regiment, died early today 
at the home of her son, A.F. Holladay, near Copeland, aged 83 years.  Mrs. 
Holladay had been ill four months with rheumatism.  The funeral will take 
place at 3 o’clock tomorrow afternoon from the Suffolk Methodist Church.  The 
deceased was a member of that denomination.  The burial will occur in Cedar 
Hill.

  Mrs. Holladay was among the most elderly women in the county.  When she 
grew reminiscent of conversation, relating as it did happenings half a century 
or more old, was very interesting.

  The deceased leaves one son, A.F. Holladay, and four grandchildren, Miss 
Katherine B., Frank A., John C. and Joseph E.B. Holladay.  All the 
grandchildren live in Suffolk.

  The deceased, a daughter of Dixon Pinner, was born in Isle of Wight County. 
She was a sister of the late Mrs. William R. Ellis, of Suffolk, and was one 
of eight children, all of whom preceded her to the grave by many years.
