© Alex Tribune Alex, Oklahoma Thursday, November 27, 2008 Jackson Argyle "Jack" Holder 1834 - February 14, 1913 Uncle Jack Holder is Called Home - Uncle Jack Holder died last Friday, February 14, and was buried Sunday at the Bradley cemetery. Rev. John V. Scott conducting the funeral service. He had been ailing with la grippe for some time and his friends and relatives believed it was only a slight indisposition, but a few days before he died he suddenly grew worse and all hope for his recovery was abandoned. He was known to everyone in this community and familiarly called Uncle Jack. It was supposed that he was over 100 years old, as he came here with the Indians in 1830, and was a man grown at the time. He has lived in Grady County all his life. ---------------- The US Census for 1910 shows Jackson A. Holder [age 84, born Alabama] living in Bradley, Grady Co., OK. Living in his household are, Lucinda J. Holder [wife, age 74, born Kentucky] and John Rodgers [boarder, age 17]. While the Alex Tribune news editor thought "Jack" Holder had lived in the Grady Co., OK area "all his life", census records show he had not. He came from Alabama but was in Grayson Co., TX in 1870 and 1880 before he made the migration into Indian Territory. Ancestry trees reflect his wife's maiden name was Lucinda J. Claypool. |
