HOLLAND, of Norfolk, d. 9 Mar 1955, at daughter's home, Baton Rouge, LA, age 76, interred in the HOLLAND-HURST family cemetery**, Mill Path Rd., 13 Mar 1955, "The Tidewater News" (Franklin, VA), Mar. 24, 1955, Sect. II, p. 6 **Southampton County Historical Society {SCHS} Cemetery Project, Miscellaneous Cemeteries, Vol. 9 (IX-23): http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/southampton/cemeteries/miscvol9.txt Additional information: *"The Tidewater News" was stored in the attic of the TN building for years before the LVA copied them. There is a line running through the print at the top and middle of many of the papers and it effected many of the obits. I've put elipses for the part that's missing. If it's obvious what's said, I've tried to fill it in. (bs) The cemetery list gives b. Hertford Co., NC, but her marriage record gives b. Southampton Co. (Southampton Co. MB8:326) Her parents are buried in Blackjack Oak (Black Jack) Cemetery, on Whitley Branch Rd., just inside the NC border.
