   Oct. 16, 1819 - Rev. Robert H. Holland was born.  He became a school 
teacher in his youth, and later entered the ministry of the Christian 
Church, and continued in the service until old age, he being one of the 
oldest men in his community.  He was a great writer, being regular 
correspondent for several religious newspapers for a great many years. 
Perhaps he married as many people as any minister in his day, continuing 
this up until a few weeks before his death.  He also served the county 
as Supervisor for some time.
