Andrew J. Holman

            One of the substantial agriculturists in Jeffersonville township, Clark county is Andrew J. Holman, whose life, covering a period of sixty-eight years has been spent in this county, the greater portion of the time within sight of the spot where his father was born and where his grandfather, Isaac Holman, settled in 1802. Mr. Holman has been very successful in his avocation, and a broad expanse of highly cultivated soil is evidence of the careful attention that he has bestowed upon his possessions. The subject is a man of most genial disposition and affable manners, which has been the means of his having formed many warm friendships throughout the county. Mr. Holman has been a hard worker all his life, but is still a very hale and hearty man for his years.

            As heretofore stated, he is a native of Utica township, having been born there April 4, 1841. His father was Isaac N. Holman who lived to quite a ripe old age. The subject married October 12, 1864, to Rosetta Worrall, and four children were born to the couple. They were Mrs. Baily L. Burtt, Walter J. Holman, Homer A. and Sol.

            Mr. Holman has participated in politics to a large extent during his life, being an ardent and active Democrat. He has held but one political office, that of Township Supervisor. He is a member of the Christian church, and belongs to the Odd Fellows. His record in both business and politics is an honorable one, the people of the community having implicit confidence in him.
