Hollingsworth, of Cortez, Colo., and one sister, Mrs. Mary Weymouth of Kansas City, Mo., who was with him during the last few weeks of his illness, with a large circle of relatives and friends are left to mourn his loss. A niece, Mrs. J. J. Dawson of Des Moines, and a brother in Law, Elum Hiatt of Edmond, Okla., attended the funeral.
He united with the Christian church about 1890, and served the county for one term as a member of the board of supervisors.
He and his wife settled on the land, which they improved and made into a comforable home when it was vacant prairie. His disposition was cheerful and he loved nature, and the woodlands especially. He was a kind, patient, loving husband and father, and was by nature clean and honest in all business and social life.
