DIR. L. L. HOLLADAY.

Lewis Littlepage Holiday, NJ. D.. was son OF
Waller and Huldale Fountain (Lewis) Holiday, OF
Spotsylvana county, in this State. He was born in
that county on the 10th day of August, 1903, and
was educated at William and Mary College, He
studied medicine with DR.. Zachary Lewis, was
graduated at the University of Maryland, and COM
menced the practice of medicine in his native coun-
ty, where he acquired great popularity as physi-
can and continued in the pursuit OF his profession
for period of more than twenty years.
In the fall of 1927 he married Jean, daughter of
Henry j. and Rebecca (Welsh) Thompson; and in
1874, he removed to Orange county, and settled on
the Rapid Ann River, near Clarke's mountain His
second marriage took place in 1864 with Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Garnett, widow of the Rev. John Gar
nett, of the Baptist church.
He became professor of religion soon after his
majority under the ministry of the late Samuel B.
Wilson, D. D., of Fredericksburg After his re-
moval to Orange, he connected himself with the
Presbyterian church, worshiping at Orange G. H.
and Gordonsville, and was elected ruling elder.
DR.. Holladay was highly respected by all who
knew him. His sound judgment, agreeable man.
ners, and excellent Christian character, made him
an acceptable companion, in every society. He was
remarkable for his genial temper, his forbearance
and tenderness in regard to the faults of Others and
his unostentatous piety He was fond of reading,
delighted in scientific studies, and his mechanical
genius was noticed and consulted among all his
friends. He was liberal contributor to the sup
port Of the gospel took great interest in the church
Judlcatories, and would subject himself to much
personal inconvenience, rather than disappoint his
brethren in the seasonal meetings. His public
prayers were brief, humble, and pointed. In a
word he was man of strict integrity; ruling well
his own household; pleasant among his neighbors,
and was greatly beloved. His death has sadly af.
teced the interests of this church. and as session
we sincerely deplore his loss

one third loan on participating Policies. Parties
who fail to pay all cash premiums Will please re-
member their cash payments are not likely to de-
crease, and that interest is to be paid annually on
all loans not absorbed by dividends.
1t requires no notes for loans of the part of pre-
miums but endorses the loan on its policies until
absorbed by-dvidends, or policy is payable
1t has no restriction on residence or travel. All
policies are non forfeitabe and the right OF par.

penalty of being separated from the Home once by
having their past payment forfeited. This Com
