MRS. MARGARET HOLLON CLAIMED IN ILLINOIS; WAS FAMOUS CITIZEN

On Saturday, Oct. 24th, Captain James I. Hollon received a card 
announcing the death of Margaret A. Hollon, wife of his brother, Clay Hollon, 
of Chicago, Ill, on Oct. 15, and her burial from the Church of The 
Advent (Episcopal), of which Mrs. Hollon was a member, on Oct. 18.  No 
details of the cause of her death were included but Captain Hollon supposes 
that her death was unexpected and very sudden as he had had news of her 
being in any way disposed.

A great many people will be saddened to hear of this noble womans death 
as it is related that her husband, Clay Hollon, son of "Uncle Buck" 
Hollon, is related by blood or marriage to over one-half the people of 
Wolfe County.  They were married in 1902 and therefore lived together 50 
years.  They really lived together not only at home but also in their 
printing business until cataracts formed on Clay's eye and hindered his 
further operation of the business.  They therefore sold the business and 
remained at home.  She took care of the office and he the printing 
plant.

Mrs. Hollon's parents, came from England to Chicago in 1883 and just in 
time for Margaret to be born in the U.S., a fact of which she was very 
proud in later years.  Her father, George Butterfield, was a graduate 
of Oxford University, and was a celebrated Latin and Green (Greek) 
scholar.  The occasion of his coming to America was the invitation of 
Rand-McNally, the great publishing house in Chicago, who employed him to 
translate all the Latin and Greek Classics taught in American Colleges and 
Universities.  This he did by printing the original Greek in the first 
line and then the next line below would be the translation in English.  
The books  thus produced were called at the time "Ponies".  Mrs. 
Hollon's mother was a real "Lady" of the old School.  Her maiden name was 
Gertrude Papineau.  Papineau is a Norman French name and her ancestor came 
to England with William the conquerer, in 1066 A.D.

Mrs. Hollon came to Hazel Green with Clay in 1950 at about this time 
for a visit and while here made a most enviable impression and made many 
friends who no doubt will be much saddened by her untimely deat
