UNDERHILL - Peter Holl, for thirty years a resident of Oconto County 
died at his home in Underhill at two o'clock Monday afternoon (July 24, 
1911), death resulting from Tuberculosis.

Shortly after his dinner on Monday Mr. Holl took a nap and in about ten 
minutes he was found dead on his bed. He was a life-long Democrat and 
served on the town board as assessor, and as clerk of the school 
district for many years.

Deseased was born in Brown County, Wis., April 10, 1861 and came to 
this county in 1881, settling in the Town of How. The property on which 
he resided later became part of the Town of Underhill. He never moved 
from the property on which he settled and by good management and hard 
work kept adding to it. He was a thriftly man and one of the 
substantial, prosperous farmers who have done so much toward the 
upbuilding of Oconto County.

In the spring of 1886 he was married to miss Lizzie Prinz who died on 
the 12th of July, 1898 (also of TB). The two sons born to them, Joseph 
and Peter, still reside at home.  In the fall of 1899 Mr. Holl was 
married to Miss Minnie Guelker, who with five children survive him. 
The children are; Fred, Frances, Julius, Mabel, and Matthew. Five 
brothers and two sisters are left to morn his death. John, Jacob, 
Matthew and Ed, all reside in Oconto County and Henry in Brown County. 
One of his sister, Mrs. (Margaret) Kaye, lives in Green Bay, and the 
other, Mrs. (Anne) Whitters, in Marshfield.

Rev. Fr. Schmidt sung a solumn requiem mass in St. Michael's Catholic 
Church at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, and interment was had at St. Mary's 
Catholic Cemetery (now named St. Michaels).

Peter Holl was a devout Catholic, a kind and loving husband and father, 
an honest, upright and highly respected citizen, in whose death not 
only his family suffers a great loss, but the community as well.

(note: Peter Holl is the son of Jacob Holl and Margaret Dollar Holl).
