Mrs. Sue Holt Dies at California Home
Native of Fulton, Will be Brought Home for Burial in Hillcrest
Mrs. Sue Holt, 85 years old, a native of Fulton and a resident of the city until eight years ago, died at 4:51 o'clock, Friday morning at the home of her son, Will Holt, in Martines, Calif., following an illness of several weeks, complicated by a stroke of paralysis.
The body will be brought back to Fulton, arriving Tuesday at Mexico, from whence it will be brought overland to Fulton by Herdon-Taylor-Blatner. The body will lie in state at the funeral home until the hour of the funeral. The services will be conducted at 10:00 o'clock Wednesday morning, at the First Christian Church by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. W. Garnet Alcorn. Burial will be in Hillcrest Cemetery.
Mrs. Holt was born July 11, 1848 in Fulton, on what is known as the Willing property on Jefferson street. The house that now stands there was erected by her father before the Civil War. Mrs. Holt was a daughter of William and Eliza Willing, pioneer residents.
She was married to Benjamin Holt of Callaway county, who passed away about 40 years ago. Three children survive. They are; Will Holt, Martinez, Calif.; Ben Holt, San Francisco, Calif., and Mrs. Zella Holt Kreuts of Fulton. Mrs. Holt was the last of her immediate family.
Mrs. Holt was a lover of children and to many of the youger people who lived in the neighborhood of the Holt home, she was a second mother. Whe was very active up until the time she was stricken. She enjoyed going out and often attended the picture shows and other entertainments in Fulton alone. Since going to California, she has traveled considerably, having motored through Canada, Mexico, and numerous states of the West.
When Franklin D. Roosebelt visited California three years ago, Mrs. Holt was presented to him as the oldest member of the Democratic Club at that place, and one of its most staunch members. Her friends in Fulton remember her as a lover of the South and its cause during the Civil War, and she told of many incidents that occurred during war times here.
Mrs. Holt united with the Christian Church when a young girl and remained a devout member throughout her lifetime, taking as active part in church work in her earlier life.
Her passing brings sincere regret to all her acquaintances, not only among the older people, but among the younger group who enjoyed her stories and her winning ways.
