Obituary
Holman. Miss Louisa Holman was botn in this city, in August, 1860, and died of consumption at the home of her parents, April 9th, 1887, being in her 27th year. The funeral, which occurred on Sunday, was very largely attended. The P. M. Sunday school, of which she has long been a faithful member, was present in a body. Lou united with the church three years ago, and has ever since lived a consistent christian life. A vast concourse of people viewed the remains after the exercises at the church, and the many tears bore silent testimony of the place she held in the affections of the masses. He aged parents, brothers and sister keenly feel the loss of one who has been the joy of home.
