Barton Holderman

In pioneer days this gentleman came to Illinois and through the period of early development of this section of the state he was actively identified with the work of progress and improvement. His name is thus inseparably connected with the history of Grundy county, and it is with pleasure that we present the record of his career to the readers of this volume.

A native of Ohio, he was born in Ross county, June 1, 1816, and died in Mississippi about 1893. His father was Abraham Holderman, a pioneer settler of Kendall county, Illinois. Our subject spent his early boyhood days in the Badger state and with his parents came to Illinois at 1831, the family locating in Kendall county, where he attained his majority. He married Miss Charity White, a daughter of Silas White, who came from Pennsylvania to LaSalle county, Illinois. They began their domestic life in Felix Township, Grundy county, where Mr. Holderman carried on agricultural pursuits until 1851. Attracted by the discovery of gold on the Pacific slope, he crossed the plains to California, where he engaged in prospecting and mining for two years. On the expiration of that period he returned to Grundy county and in 1853 removed his family to Missouri, locating on a farm in Bates county. His first wife had died in 1849, leaving three children, namely: Harriet Amanda, wife of Lewis Adams, now of Oklahoma; Samuel, deceased; and William B. In 1853 Barton Holderman wedded Alice Adams and they became the parents of two children, of whom one is now living, John H., a resident of Lyon county, Kansas. The mother died in Missouri about 1855, and again Mr. Holderman was married, Jane Feely becoming his wife. They had three children, who are still living – Artie Jane, Norrice Dyson and Addie May. About 1890 Mr. Holderman removed with his family to Mississippi and was identified with the agricultural interests of that state until his death. His widow now makes her home there.
