Death of Mrs. Holloway.
Mrs. Jane Holloway passed peacefully away Wednesday evening after a brief illness. The funeral services were held at the house on Thursday and were conducted by Rev. Amlong, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Geuda Springs cemetery.
Mrs. Holloway was born in La Salle county, Illinois in the year 1815 and was 79 years of age at the time of her death. Her father was an Indian trader and was so highly respected by the Indians that during all the massacres that took place in that section his family was unmolested. During the Black Hawk war he took refuge with his family within the fort at Chicago which at that time consisted of only three houses. Mrs. Holloway was the first single girl that ever resided in Chicago. Mr. Holloway, to whom she was subsequently married, fought in the Black Hawk war and afterward settled in Chicago where he was married to Mrs. Holloway in 1830. They soon afterward moved to Iowa where they buried two of their children. Three of their sons were killed in the civil war and of thirteen children Mrs. Milner of this city is the only one surviving. Mrs. Holloway was a resident of this place three years and by her kind and gentle disposition won the esteem of all who knew her. She possessed of remarkable energy and kept up to the very last. She was afflicted with cancer of the breast but the real cause of her death was old age and general debility.
