Richard M Holt Richard M. Holt, 82, died Thursday night, about 11:30 o'clock, at the Woodford Memorial hospital, following an illness of several weeks.

Mr. Holt was a native of Spencer county, Ky., but had lived in Woodford 67 years. He was a son of Joseph P. and Martha Garnett Holt and was born Oct. 27, 1850.

He came to this county when he was 15 years of age to live with his uncle, William McDonald. From his youth he was engaged in farming and raising livestock. For 40 years he was associated with the Messrs. Graham, father and son, the late James H. Graham and Pruett Graham, of Frankfort, in the operation of extensive farms near McKee's cross-roads, and he was known as a very capable, successful farmer. Mr. Holt moved to Versailles to live 10 or 11 years ago, but continued to look after a farm that he still owned at the time of his death.

In 1877, Mr. Holt was married to Miss Annic C. Harris, the daughter of Notley Harris, of Woodford county. Mrs. Holt died in 1920. Surviving are two sons, Dr. Joseph P. Holt, of Versailles, and Harris Holt, of Pittsburg; a daughter, Mrs. Sallie F. Hall, who lived with her father, five grandsons, Richard Hall and Clinton Hall, of Lexington; Harris Holt, Jr. of Pittsburg; Paynter and Richard M. Holt, of Versailles, and one brother; Peter K. Holt, 81 years old, of Mt. Eden, Ky.

Mt. Holt was a man of high integrity and of strong and positive character. A generous man, a good neighbor and a loyal friend, he has one of those quiet natures which enjoyed companionship but shrank from crowds. He was a kind and indulgent father; a man of strong affections, and those who knew him best were those who loved him most.

Funeral services, conducted by the Rev. W. J. Shelburne, pastor of the Christian church, were held at the late residence of Mr. Holt on Elm street, Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The interment took place in the Versailles cemetery. Pall-bears were Albert Wilson, of Bryantsville; A. L. Edwards, Joe Jesse, A. G. Crutcher, Senator D. C. Naive and Dr. Herbert Newman.
