J. A. HOLLAND PASSES AWAY.
Death ended the sufferings of J A. HOLLAND, Monday morning, June 11th, after a prolonged illness of several years. His death was caused by a disease which he contracted during a number of years underground work in the mines. Mr. HOLLAND was an old resident of Eagle county, locating on his ranch near Wolcott 21 years ago where he lived with his family up to the time of his death.
Mr. HOLLAND was an excellent citizen and his friends were numbered by his acquaintances, but eulogy for him is vain; for it is his works that follow him, not our words. T praise him is unnecessary for those who knew him and vain for those who did not. He was an ideal man, who reverenced his conscience as his king.
A number of people from Eagle and other parts of the county gathered at the home of the deceased to pay final tribute to the honored dead and to testify by their presence to his worth as a good citizen and a loyal friend. The funeral was held last Wednesday in Leadville and interment was made in the cemetery at that place.
Mr. HOLLAND is survived by a wife, two sons and two brothers. The grief stricken family have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their bereavement.
