The Bolivar Free Press. Vol. 3, No. 5, Thursday June 30, 1870, pg. 3;

CEDAR COUNTY--Mr. A.J. Holman, living a short distance southwest of Stockton died suddenly on the morning of the 20th inst. (inst. = within this month). He is reported as having been in good health and only the day previous traveled forty miles."

=======================================

NOTES;
There is currently a wooden bar helping support his broken & repaired headstone (as seen in the photo on Find a Grave). On a previous visit to the Younger Cemetery, I carefully unscrewed one side of the bar and moved it to read the birth date, before carefully replacing the bar and replacing the screw. The birth date of April 16, 1816 is very clearly carved and easy to read.

An inventory/appraisal of Andrew J. Holman's estate was listed in Cedar County Court records in July of 1870.

Andrew J. Holman's wife/widow was named Priscilla (sometimes spelled Precilla or Percilla). Her estate inventory was taken 20 March 1886 in Cedar County by their son Christopher Columbus Holman (1848-1923), so she probably died in Feb. or March 1886.

Save to my tree
estate of Andrew J. Holman "incumbered" by dower for Priscilla Holman his wife

from the courthouse in Stockton, Cedar Co., MO, deed book S, pp. 132-133

into in parentheses is as it appears in the deed book; I added a little info in brackets for clarity and am breaking the text up into sections, to make it easier to read. In the deed book, everything is run together after "General Warranty Deed," making it hard to scan the text for details. I'm sorry I don't understand exactly what this deed says, but it seems to relinquish any claim to land in Dulina's father's [and mother's?] estate in exchange for $100?

"General Warranty Deed

This Indenture Made on the 30th day of August A D One thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy Six by and between Daniel Holman and Dulina Holman his wife [Dulina grew up as the daughter of Andrew J. Holman and his wife Priscilla McCarver Holman, marriage date of the parents makes me wonder if one of these parents was a step-parent?] of the County of Dade and State of Missouri parties of the First Part and Charles F White of the county of Dade in the State of Missouri party of the Second Part
