LIEUTENANT HERBERT HOLLEMAN

LIEUTENANT HOLLEMAN KILLED IN FRANCE

POPULAR YOUNG SUFFOLK CITIZEN MAKES SUPREME SACRIFICE

   Suffolk, Nov. 6 - T.H. Birdsong, of this city, was officially notified today 
of the death in France of Lieut. Herbert Holleman, who was killed in action on 
the 8th of October, just after he had gone over the top, by a shell.

   Herbert Holleman had just received his commission as lieutenant and was 
considered a fine young officer. As a Suffolk boy the young soldier was highly 
esteemed.

   He is survived by his father, John Lee Holleman, who is himself critically 
ill, his mother, one sister, Mrs. Marjorie Holleman Duke, of Washington, D.C.; 
two brothers, Robert Holleman, U.S. N., and James Holleman, a small boy.

   Just as the official notice came to Suffolk this morning, the Virginian 
Pilot, which was being distributed, contained on the Portsmouth page, in a 
letter from Lieutenant Vaughan to his wife, a description of the death of 
Herbert Holleman.
