The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1895-03-08

Mrs. A, N. Lindsey and little
child, Of Big Sandy, visited Cam
den relatives this week.
Another home has been shrouded
in deep gloom. Mr.. Bennett Hol-
land, who resided 3 miles southwest
of town, died last Wednesday noon
at the advanced age Of 81 years.
The deceased had been in declining
health for several years, and for the
past twelve months or more he had
been confined to his room, gradu-
ally growing worse until death fl
nally resulted from a complication
of troubles aided by enfeebled old
age. He leaves a wife and several
children and a host of relatives and
/ friends to mourn his death. The
remains were inferred yesterday at
Cowells Chapel Cemetery in the
presence of a large number Of rel
atives and friends of the family.
