The Gastonia, N C Gazette, contains the following sketch of the late Dr E B Holland, of Bluefield.
A telegram received by friends here on Monday morning brought the sad tidings of the death of Dr E B Holland, in Bluefield, W Va, last Sunday night at 10 o'clock. His body, accompanied by Mrs Holland and her son, Dr George C Holland, was brought to Dallas for burial, arriving in Gastonia at one o'clock Tuesday. The funeral was conducted by Rev R Z Johnson at the Dallas Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon, and the interment took place in the Presbyterian cemetery there. A large outpouring of people, not only of the white but of the colored people as well, attested the popularity of the dead man among those who knew him and who sorrowed that they should see his face no more. There were very few of that great assembly that thronged the church, but had been ministered to in sickness or distress by this man whose death they mourned.
It has been but a few weeks more than a year ago that Dr Holland was called to the bedside of his son George in Bluefield, who at that time was thought to be dying, but a change for the better occurred at once, and he recovered. The sons and father were anxious that Mrs Holland should join them there and in March a year ago she bade friends and old home good-bye and joyfully took up her journey to her new home. At no time in three or four years had her husband been in good health. A few days ago Dr Holland was seized with a vomiting spasm. Nourishment could not be retained, and was finally refused. Death relieved his sufferings last Sunday night, as was already mentioned.
Dr Holland was born at Dallas, N C, Oct 2, 1831. His father originally owned the land on which Dallas now stands. He chose medicine as his profession and graduated in 1850 at the National Medical College. He was for four years a surgeon in the Confederate service, and had charge of the Raleigh hospital. It was here that he met Miss Julia Courts, daughter of Hon David W Courts of Rockingham, who on Sept 15, 1863, became his wife.
After the war their home was in Dallas and during the thirty years that followed Dr Holland devoted himself to the practice of his profession with ever increasing reputation and popularity. It was here he and his devoted wife reared their family of devoted sons and daughters. It was here he was known and loved best, and her in the land of his birth, youth and manhood he now lies buried. A tried, brainy man, who had served the public long in his day, and suffered much in body and mind, rests at last beside his brother in his native soil, and loving hands leave sweet flowers on his grave. In their hour of sorrow and deepest grief, we know that the noble and most devoted wife and her bereaved children have the sympathy of all the wide circle of those who know them.
