Died of the flu with his wife pregnant with twin boys. His oldest child John Wilson Holland also died of the flu. He is said to be buried beside his wife in an unmarked grave.

In a story I was told by his granddaughter, Mary Aline Holland Heflin, her husband (Clyde Orell Heflin) asked 'Ma Collins' (Rebecca Caskey Holland Taylor Collins) which of her 3 husbands she would be buried beside, and her answer was "well by my first husband, of course. If he hadn't of died there wouldn't have been the other two."
