Instead made excuses 1 tor those who were weak, i tocuu?e ol this lovable trait ho counted his friends by the hundreds and ho made no enemies. / He was of a modist, retiring disposition, not given to talk of self, and lor this reason, little is known of hi.early life. He was born in Shelby, N C., October 17, ISM). His parents were Virginians, his father being a Methodist minister who moved to the North Carolina town for his health Without a doubt, Major Holmes owed many of his admirable traits of character to the teachings he received in his early childhood.
