The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, July 1, 1909
MR. J.P. HOLIDAY died at his home in Newbern June 24, 1909, in his 94th year.
He leaves an aged companion, two sons, STANTON of Creston, Ia.; CALVIN of Des Moines, and three daughters, MRS. ROBERT MILLEN and MRS. B.G. HERRON of Cloud, Ia.; MRS. MINTA MAYES of Peru, Neb. All were present when he passed away except STANTON and MRS. MAYES. One daughter, MRS. LURA SHORT, preceded him to the better world several years ago.
We can say nothing better of him than "I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge shall give me at that day, and not to me only but until all them also that love his appearing." By his death his wife loses a true companion, his children a loving father, the church a faithful member, the community an honorable, upright citizen.
Funeral services were conducted at the Cain Church by Rev. Ackley, Pastor of the U.B. Church, Friday, at 2 p.m., Interment at the Cain Cemetery.
