Thursday, 10 December, 1914

         Mason, Mich., Dec. 10 - Another of Ingham county's pioneers,
       who settled near North Aurelius something more than sixty years
       ago,, passed away Thursday morning, Dec. 8, in the person of
       MRS. MARY J. HOLLEY, for many years familiarly known to her
       many friends as "AUNT MARY." MRS. HOLLEY, whose maiden name
       was MARY CALDWELL, was born June 27, 1883, in Syracuse, N.Y.
       She came to Michigan in 1852, and was later married to ALFRED
       J. HOLLEY, who died in 1890. Both Mr. and Mrs. HOLLEY were
       pioneer members of the Mason Baptist church, and figured in
       the early history of the church.
       
         For a time after their marriage they lived with the family
       of REUBEN BULLEN, near North Aurelius. Later they settled on
       the farm where they have since lived. For many years there
       was a pretentious home on the farm. This house, however, was
       destroyed by a fire but a few years ago. Since then a new
       and smaller home has been erected, and MRS. HOLLEY had lived
       there with her son, DELBERT. She leaves besides this son,
       two daughters, MRS. MELVILLE HILTON, of North Aurelius, and
       MRS. ALFRED WELCH, of Delhi, and a son, CHARLES, of Denver,
       Colorado. Also several grandchildren.
       
         The funeral was held this afternoon, from the North Aurelius
       church, Rev. Newberry, of Mason, officiating.
