DIED, on the 3lst nit. DREWRY
HOLLAND, Sen'r. of the couoiy of Bed.
ford, in the 72nd year Of his age.
OF this old gentleman it might he said
in the usual style, that hr Mas kind Inns
band, an allrctionate parent, indulgen
master, Sc. &c. for il was all very true
Bat if nothpg else, could he mentioned i
would not be worth While 10 trouble ih'
printer 81 the pbbllc about his death. M
Holland was a firm, hardy aud resolut'
soldier of the revolutionary wa. and Tough
IN many of the contests of that Dr. sprrat,
struggle. II iS very doubtful whether an'
private soldier of that day did more service
10 his country than this very worthy oil,
man. His bodily constitution was equa
10 any hardship fatigue or weather, ant
the construction of his mind such as sullrt
him, precisely, To the field before any diff
ficuty or amidst any danger. For man,
years past, Mr. Holland has been warn
, friend If, aud practical believer in the reli
gion of Jesus Christ, and his example and
influence was of incalculahle benefit t. II
cause IN this part # the country. If th
memory of man who has spent long If
in the cause of his family, his country AM
his God, has any claim 10 the sympath's q
his rounir, men, Mr.. Holland has to ours.
