HOLMAN, 91, pioneer barrister and prominent citizen of Rochester, passed away at Woodlawn hospital at 8:25 o'clock Monday morning. Mr. Holman's death was caused by pneumonia and although he was removed to the hospital several days ago and placed in an oxygen tent he failed to rally from the disease. Mr. Holman was well known throughout not only Fulton county, but the entire state. He had served as county and district chairman of the Republican party at various times during his long and interesting career in political activities. Mr. Holman also served as acting state chairman of the G.O.P. organization for several months. The deceased, who came to Rochester at the age of 21 years following his graduation from the Indiana University School of Law immediately engaged in the practice of law in this community. He was a member of the National, State and County Bar associations; the Rochester First Baptist church; the Masonic order, of this city; the Knights of Pythias lodge and the Pioneers of Indiana and Indiana Historical society. He also served as a National Bank examiner for the State of Indiana under President Harrison. At the time of his demise he was one of the four oldest graduates of Indiana university. Mr. Holman was exceptionally active in various civic affairs of the community and was instrumental in the organization work of the old Rochester Bridge Factory, the Rochester-Fulton county Library, the Rochester Telephone copany, the Rochester Electric Light, Heat and Power company, and other business enterprises. During the past score or more of years Mr. Holman spent his winters with his daughter in his home at Winter Haven, Fla., however, this year his health was so impaired that the trip to the South was deemed inadvisable by his physician. George W., son of Charles W. and Delilah (BURNS) HOLMAN was born September 30th, 1850, on a farm near Mentone, in Kosciusko county, Ind. He moved to Rochester in 1871 where he took up the practice of law. On December 24th, 1874, he was united in marriage with Miss Louise BRACKETT in a ceremony solemnized at the home of the bride's parents. Mrs. Holman preceded him in death a number of years ago, as did a daughter, Miss Georgiana [HOLMAN]. The survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Lucile LEONARD, of Rochestr; Mrs. George H. (Grace) BEACH, of Chatham, N.Y.; a son, Hugh B. HOLMAN, of this city; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The body will lie in state at the Holman residence, 1402 South Main street, after nine o'clock Wednesday morning, where friends may call.
