HOLLY FAMILY BIBLE
Submitted by Lloyd Alvin Holly, 1424 Thomas Run Road, Bel Air, MD 21015-1224.
Transcribed as originally recorded from copies of the family record
pages provided to me in October 1978 by Alvern Carl Holly (b. Jul 13,1916
- d. Jan 17, 1989), my cousin, then the last known keeper of the bible
living in Ladysmith, Rusk County, WI. Alvern Holly's notes indicate
the original owner was Roswell Holly, b. May 2, 1829, d. Aug 24, 1902(?),
our great grandfather. From my reconstruction and interpretation of these
notes Roswell Holly was the youngest son of Joseph H. Holly and Sarah McWhorter.
I am trying to locate the original bible to verify some entries. Also,
there is possibly additional information available in the bible. I have
provided my interpretations based on my personal family knowledge as indicated
by "My Notes" below.
BIRTHS
Roswell Holly was born May 2n AD 1829 (original owner of the bible)
Sarah Violett Daily was born March 17th 1837
Carrie Isorie Holly was born Sep 11th 1855
Evaline Amanda Holly was born May 20th 1856 (My note: The original year appears to be 1856 with the last digit overwritten with an 8 or 9.)
Frank R. Holly was born Jan 7th AD1864 (My note: My grandfather, Frank Roswell Holly)
Susan Jessie Holly was born July 30th & died Aug 5th 1866
Maude Estella Holly was born Tuesday July 20th 1875
Francis Albert Holly born April 9th 1880
Infant son born July 20th 1882
Joseph Car Holly born July 2nd 1894 (?) (My note: I believe the birth year should be 1884 and middle name should be Carr.)
Maude C Germer born Aug 24th 1866 (My note: My grandmother, born in Adrian, MI. When her parents/family continued westward by covered wagon she was very ill so was left with and raised by a family named Stewart and took the name Maude Clara Stewart prior to her marriage.)
Roswell Holly Jr born Feb 26 1888 (My note: Frank R. & Maude C. (Germer) Holly's first child. He was not a real "junior", as he did not have the name Frank as his father did. He was referred to as junior to distinguish him from his grandfather. Interestingly evidently neither grandfather nor grandson had a middle name.)
Evaline Amanda Holly born July 4th 1880 (?) (My note: The year of birth
has been questioned by many in the family. In the bible record the last
digit has been marked over. I believe it should be 1889.
See Eva A. Holly entry below under deaths.)
Agnes V. Munroe born Jan 26th 1870
Bessie May Munroe born Feb 17th 1878
Carrie L Munroe born March 12 1880
Dora Munroe born April 1 1885
DEATHS
John M. Holly died August 20th AD 1821 (My note: The middle initial is unclear. I believe it to be an "M". It could possibly be an "N", and is definitely not a "W". In an attached group sheet Alvern refers to a John M. Holly b. Sep 8, 1814, d. Aug 20, 1821, youngest son of Joseph H. and Sarah McWhorter Holly)
Joseph Holly died February the 3rd AD 1856 (My note: Joseph H. Holly)
Sarah Holly died Dec 23rd AD 1856 (My note: Sarah McWhorter Holly)
Sally Mariah Holly died Sep 2nd AD 1857
George J. (?) Holly died Aug 1st 1866 (My note: The middle initial appears to be a "J" overwritten with a "D". I believe "J" is correct.)
Infant son died July 23 1882
Evaline A. Munroe died Feb 6th 1888
Eva A Holly died March 24th 1890 age 9 yr, 8 mo 20 D (My note:
This is the Evaline Amanda Holly with birth date of July 4th, 1880.
I believe
the "9 yrs" is actually a misinterpretation/transcription error
and is actually "0 yrs". Family knowledge passed is down that Evaline died
from falling from a chair and striking her head five days after the next
sibling was born - Frank Peter Holly, b March 19, 1890, who was
Alvern Carl Holly's father. Numerous family members have related
that they were told she was very, very young, about two years old or younger
when she died. If indeed she was Frank R. and Maude Holly's second child
her birth date could conceivably have been July 4, 1889 - sixteen months
after Roswell was born and twenty months before Frank Peter was born.
This is a probable explanation also for someone confusing the
two Evaline Amandas and overwriting the birth year of the other Evaline
Amanda Holly (b May 20, 1856) with a nine. Their birth entries are directly
next to each other on the same page of the family record.)
Roswell Holly died July 24, 1829 73 yrs 3 mo 22 days (My
note: My great grandfather. The year of death 1829 is obviously incorrect,
since that was the year he was born. From the birth date of May 2, 1829
and the longevity, I calculate the correct date of death as August 24,
1902.
If someone calculated or transcribed the number of months incorrectly,
that is, wrote 3 mo instead of 2 mo, that would make the date of death
July 24, 1902. The PA Sullivan-Rutland Genealogy Project states the
death date as September 23, 1903.)
John Roswell Maury (?) died Feb 11 - 1920 (My note: Spelling of the surname is unclear. The first four letters are clear, but the "y" is unclear and there may be additional following letters.)
Perry W. Holly died March 18th 1933 age 40 yrs 7 months
Carrie Isora Thompson nee Holly died Nov 20 1934 age 79 yrs 3 mo 7 days
Roswell Holly Jr. died December 28/ 194? Age 55 10 mo 2 days (My note: The last digit is truncated on my copy, but I calculate it to be 1943.)
Frank R Holly died April 16, 1952 (My note: My grandfather, Frank Roswell Holly)
Deacon H. Holly, died June 28th, 1974

to Sarah McWhorter, born Sep 2, 1789, died Dec 23, 1856. (My
note: This

John M. Holly born Sep 8, 1814, died Aug 20, 1821 (My Note: Could this eldest child be named after his grandfather?)
Silas Holly born Jul 17, 1817, married Sappia Smith, Mar 2, 1842 (My Note: I believe this is most probably a transcription error and is Sophia Smith, b. Dec 29, 1820, d. Dec 11, 1868)
Joseph W. Holly born Sep 26, 1820, died Aug 11, 1894 (My note: Evidently someone confused "Joseph Wilson Holly" with his father "Joseph H." and incorrectly wrote the date of death as Feb 3, 1856. From the PA Sullivan-Rutland Genealogy Project site files Joseph Wilson Holly died Aug 11, 1894)
