FORMER RESIDENT TAKEN BY DEATH
Mrs. Fannie Holland, a former Sycamore resident, passed peacefully away at her late home in Elgin on Friday evening, following a period of declining health. About four weeks ago she suffered a fall, sustaining severe bruises and injuries, which possibly hastened her death. Had she lived two months longer, she would have attained her eighty-ninth milestone on life's journey.
Parents Were Pioneers
Fannie A. Hopkins, daughter of Cyrus B. and Fannie Larkin Hopkins, was born in Cortland township on December 27, 1850. Her parents, who came from New York state as a young married couple in 1835, settled on homestead government land in DeKalb county. Here they continued to reside, Mrs. Holland being the last survivor of five boys and three girls born in the Hopkins family. The late United States Senator, Albert J. Hopkins, a lawyer of Aurora, was a brother of the decedent. He represented Illinois in the United States senate from 1903 to 1909, having previously been a member of congress.
She was united in marriage on October 11, 1870 to Thomas Holland, who became one of Cortland's most substantial farmers and later served as supervisor of that township. Mr. and Mrs. Holland located on the homestead on the Ohio Grove road. This property, tenented by Clarence Aldis, is still retained by the Holland family today.
Move to Sycamore
Nearly 40 years ago Mr. and Mrs. Holland retired from the activity of farm life and moved to Sycamore to make their home. They lived on South California street as long as they made Sycamore their place of residence. Three children, two daughters, Misses Maud and Fannie Mae Holland, both at home in Elgin, and one son Floyd Holland of Sycamore, survive to mourn their mother's death. Mr. Holland died in 1920.
For the past nine years Mrs. Holland and her daughters have lived in Elgin, moving there in the fall of 1930. Miss Fannie Mae had a secretarial position, while Miss Maud remained at home and assisted in the home, the daughters expressing the most tender and devoted care for their mother in her declining years.
Mrs. Holland will be kindly remembered by a host of friends in Sycamore and Cortland vicinity as a lady possessed of many admirable attributes of character. She was blessed with a sympathetic and understanding heart, which combined with an energetic and ambitious nature, won for her warm friends.
She was a wonderful woman, retaining high ideals and expressing her interests when able and active in the church of her choice, having been a member of the Methodist church since her girlhood days. Since living in Elgin, she continued her membership in the First Methodist church of that city. She was an active worker in the Quilter's society of the local church when residing here.
Final tribute was accorded Mrs. Holland at services held at 10 o'clock on Monday morning at the late home in Elgin at 323 West Chicago street, with the Rev. F. W. Hoisinton, pastor of the First Methodist church, officiating. Burial was in the family lot in Mound Rest cemetery at Cortland.
