FROM UNION…It is our painful duty to chronicle the death of Mr. R. C. Holloman, which occurred in Hertford, N. C., Oct. 12, 1897. His remains were brought here and interred in the old family graveyard. Clarence was a young man, 22 years old, of exemplary habits, just entering into the prime of life. He has held several positions of honor and trust and in each he conducted himself to the satisfaction of his employers and a credit to himself. At the time of his death he was holding a position as salesman for Mess. C. T. Blanchard & Bro., of Hertford. He leaves an aged mother and father, seven brothers and sisters and a host of friends to mourn his loss. . .
