HOLLAND CORBITT CARR

Died August 26, 1885, in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, at the residence of 
her son, James A. Carr, sister HOLLAND CARR, in the ninety fifth year of her 
age.

She was baptized by Elder Robert T. Daniel and joined Black Creek Church, in 
Southampton County, about 1827.  In 1828, she was one of the twenty four that 
entered into the organization of Beaver Dam Church, in Isle of Wight. Here she 
remained a faithful member till her death - a period of fifty seven years.

Only two of her six children are now living - James A. Carr and Mills Carr. 
In her last days, she wished her brethren and sisters in the church to come 
and talk with her.  Though she could not enjoy the presence of her brethren 
and sisters as she wished, we feel sure she now enjoys the presence of Jesus.

Her funeral services were conducted by the writer.  BY:  J.A. Johnson
