Pioneer Wheeler Lady Dies Tuesday Morning
Mrs. E.E. Holt Succumbs After Brief Illness - Had Lived Here 36 Years

Although she had been an invalid for a number of years, relatives and friends of Mrs. E.E. Holt were shocked to learn of her death at her home early Tuesday morning, following a brief illness. Deceased was a real pioneer, coming here in 1901, where she had since resided.

Deceased was the mother of five children, four of whom are living. They are: Mrs. May Roy, Crosbyton; J.W. Holt, Taylor, Ariz.; Mrs. Rose Green, Wheeler, and Mrs. Kate Morris, Vernon. A son, Sam Holt, died at Springfield, Colo., in 1930. A brother; J.W. Tennyson of Iola, Kans., also survives. Her husband died May 12, 1924.

Untied in marriage with E.E. Holt at Fort Scott, Kans., on March 31, 1870, the couple amassed a comfortable competence before his demise, leaving the widow substantial holdings in the Citizens State bank of Wheeler, of which Holt was a charter member.

Mrs. Holt was a member of the Methodist church, but because of infirmities had been unable to engage in religious activities of any appreciable extent.

Elizabeth Annie Tennyson was born Jan. 23, 1852, in Arkansas, and passed away August 3, 1937, in Wheeler, Texas, at the age of 85 years, 6 months and 10 days.

Funeral services were conducted at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon from the Methodist church. Rev. E.C. Ramey, pastor, conducted the rites, with Rev. Taft Holloway, pastor of the Baptist church, directing the song service. Interment was made in the Wheeler cemetery.

Flower bearers were Mesdames Buck Britt, A.B. Crump, R.J. Holt, Clarence Holt, Raymond Holt and Clarice Holt.

Pall bearers were six grandsons of the deceased: Stanley Green, Bronson Green, Roe Green, Morris Green, Orwin and Emmett Roy. Honorary pall bearers were Buck Britt, R.J. Holt, Clarence Holt, and Demaris Holt.
