ADDIE CHANNELL HOLLAND

TRAGIC DEATH OF MRS. J.H. HOLLAND THURSDAY MORNING

   Franklin was shocked early yesterday morning when the lifeless body of 
Mrs. J.H. Holland was found in the vacant lot adjoining the Stonewall Hotel, 
indications being that she jumped or fell from the window of her room on the 
second floor of the hotel and was probably instantly killed.  The body was 
taken to the Holland Funeral Home, and the hour for the funeral was 
tentatively set for Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock from the Franklin 
Baptist Church with burial to follow in the family plot in Poplar Spring 
Cemetery.

   Mrs. Holland, "Miss Addie" as she was known by all of her friends, was 
the daughter of the late Henry and Mrs. Nancy Cobb Channell of the Riverdale 
community, this county, and she had celebrated her 76th birthday on May 2. 
She was a graduate of Chowan College, Murfreesboro, and was governess in the 
home of the late Mr. and Mrs. P.D. Camp of 13 years.  A consistent member of 
the Franklin Baptist Church and its missionary organizations, she was a woman 
of fine character, quiet an unostentatious in all of her ways.

   Many years ago she was married to J.H. Holland of this town, who died 
July 7, 1939, and they have one son, Lieut. Joseph B. Holland, U.S.A., who is 
connected with the Signal Corps at Camp Chaffee, near Fort Smith, Arkansas. 
Lieut.  Holland is expected to reach Franklin some time Friday night.
