He was one of a family of five children and came with the family to Wisconsin at the age of five years. They settled in the Valton community where he has since resided. Mr. HOLDERMAN knew the hardships of pioneer life and he was always ready and willing to help in time of trouble or sickness, or in any way he could. His parents, one brother, and two sisters preceded him in death. One sister, Mrs. Rella COLLINS, of Stetsonville, who is 93, survives.

On Christmas Day, 1884, was solemnized his marriage to Miss Harriet Ellen SHREVE, daughter of Hezekiah and Rachel SHREVE of Hillsboro. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride. To this union were born five children: William, of Wonewoc; Ernest, of Chickasha, Okla.; Jennie, Mrs. Willard HENDERSON, Stanley; a daughter Jessie preceded him in death at the age of two in the year 1895; and Bert, of Madison.

Mrs. HOLDERMAN passed away in 1951. Since that time, he has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Willard HENDERSON, Stanley, and Mr. and Mrs. William HOLDERMAN of Wonewoc. Even in the last days when he was confined to home, he was always patient and gladly received the visits and remembrances of his many friends.
