JAMES P. HOLLAND was born August 19, 1856, in Allen County, where he has
since resided. His father, Walker D. Holland, was born in Virginia, and
is of English descent. He has been married three times; first, to Mary
Casey, of Allen County; they had no children; second, to Lucinda
(Billingsly) Holland, who bore him one child; his third wife, whom he
married about 1845, is Sophia, daughter of William and Clara
(Harrington) Kirby, of Warren County, who was born about 1829.  To them
have been born nine children, of whom James P. is the fourth.  He was
married, February 14, 1884, to Eliza W., daughter of Alfred and Sydney
(Guy) Wilson, of Allen County, who was born December 23, 1856. Our
subject has an excellent English education and has made some progress
toward the higher branches.  He holds a first-grade certificate and has,
since 1877, been engaged in teaching as a profession, in connection with
which he has for a portion of the time engaged in farming.  He started
at the bottom of life's rugged hill, but has, by his own labor, always
provided for his family in a suitable way.  He is a man well versed in
the current literature of the day and in politics is a Republican.
