        Holland Items. 

  Much sympathy seems manifested on account of the affliction of Mr. W.T. 
Holland of this place.  He has been serious lyill for more than a week, and 
his condition is but little better at the present writing.  He is a member of 
the Baptist church of this place, a good man, and very useful as a citizen in 
the community.

        Holland Items. 

  Mr. Wm. T. Holland, of this place, spoken of as ill in our last "Items," is 
still in a precarious condition.  His trouble seems to be more of a mental, 
than of a physical nature.  The attending physician says he has scarcely any 
fever, yet he is delirious much of his time.  He takes no nourishment, 
scarcely, at all, and it is with great difficulty that he can be induced to 
take medicine, and he is therefore daily growing weaker.  The doctor thinks 
his case would be more hopeful, could these difficulties be overcome.  Should 
he not recover, his place will be hard to fill, as he is quite a prominent man 
in his church and in the community.  He has filled several offices of trust in 
his county, and has been a Notary Public for many years; and in all his 
business transactions, both private and public, he has been most correct and 
reliable.  He is highly esteemed by his many friends, and is what we might 
term a model man of the community.

        Holland Items. 

[...] 

  Mr. Wm. T. Holland, spoken of in other items as being ill, passed away 
peacefully to his rest, June 12, 1899.  He had been unconscious most of the 
time for about three weeks.  He was about 71 years old, and leaves a beloved 
wife and six children, who deeply mourn their loss.  He was a man of 
prominence and will be greatly missed in his community, and especially will he 
be missed in his church and his home.  As head of his family "he ruled his 
household well," and was a model by which the children could mould their 
lives and characters.  He was a practical man in all his business relations. 
His farm and all its appurtenance - his granery, his stalls, his stock, all 
gave evidence of judicious arrangement, constant care and attention. 
Especially did he set his spiritual house in order, as in his religious duties 
he was constant and persevering, and he has no doubt entered into that 
glorious reward promised to the faithful.  His funeral services took place the 
13th.  Services by Rev. Jas. E. Jones, pastor.  A large congregation was 
present.
