SARAH ELIZA LAWRENCE HOLLAND

   Mrs. Sallie E. Holland of South Quay died at her ancestral home on Friday, 
September 11 in the 77th year of her age.  Mrs. Holland was the daughter of 
Capt. Jonas Lawrence and his wife, Virginia Lee, both of Nansemond County.

   She was married to Eugene Holland of Franklin in 1888 and for a number of 
years resided in that town, where she was well known and much beloved.  After 
the death of her husband she returned to South Quay where she spent the 
remainder of her life, save for four years when she served as matron of Elon 
College, N.C.

   Her whole life was one of service to her family and friends and to the 
Franklin Christian Church of which she was a most faithful and devoted member.

   Her great love for humanity, her strong convictions of right and wrong, and 
her devotion to duty above all things made her a woman of marked character and 
one who will be long remembered by her family and her host of friends.  It can 
be well said of her that she now rests from her labors and her works do follow 
her.

   She leaves a son, Lawrence E. Holland and a daughter, Mrs. W.A. Jones, and 
the following nephews and niece whom she reared; William J. Jones, Jack J. 
Jones, James E. Jones and Jennie Lee Jones; two grandsons, Eugene Emmett 
Holland and Philip Parker Holland; two brothers, J.E. Lawrence of Franklin and 
A.R. Lawrence of Washington, besides a large number of nieces and nephews.

   Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon at 3:30 by Dr. 
Elwood W. Jones, assisted by Rev. W.L. Lumpkin and R.D. Stephenson.

   Burial was in Poplar Spring Cemetery, pallbearers being the deacons of the 
Christian Church, J.A. Williams, E. Philip Jones, L.R. Jones, W.H. Jones, L.B. 
Norfleet, Ernest L. Beale, J.L. Eley and W.H. Jones of A. - Communicated.
