LEE BRITT HOLLAND

L.B. HOLLAND, DIED FRIDAY

   FRANKLIN - Lee Britt Holland, 74, retired superintendent of Camp 
Manufacturing Co., died Friday night in Raiford Memorial Hospital after a 
short illness.

   He was the husband of Mrs. Dorothea Lankford Holland and a son of the late 
Paul Cephus and Mrs. Mary Alice Holland of Nansemond County.

   He was a member of High Street Methodist Church and its Board of Stewards, 
and a charter member of Franklin Lions Club.

   After attending local public schools, he started his lumber career in 1903 
in the log woods of Wiggins Lumber Co., at Green Pond, S.C.  He rose to mill 
foreman.

   In January, 1909 he joined Camp Manufacturing Co. as a filer, relief sawyer 
and foreman, serving in these capacities at Butterworth, Arringdale and 
Marion, S.C.

   He was transferred to the main mill at Franklin in 1918 and in March 1923, 
was appointed assistant to the general superintendent.

   On retirement in 1945 of John A. Williams, vice president and 
superintendent, he became superintendent of the sawmill and also of the wood 
yard operations of the paper division.

   Although often referred to as being of "the old school" he kept up with the 
modern pace and developments in lumber manufacturing.

   Surviving besides his widow, are one daughter, Mrs. Eugene D. McGhee of 
Detroit; three brothers, Paul C. Holland and Vernon Holland of Holland and 
Kenneth Holland of Portsmouth, two sisters, Mrs. E.L. Bayton of Portsmouth and
