HOLLAND CORBITT CARR

Died August 26, 1885, in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, at the residence of 
her son, James A. Carr, sister HOLLAND CARR, in the ninety fifth year of her age.

She was baptized by Elder Robert T. Daniel and joined Black Creek Church, in 
Southampton County, about 1827. In 1828, she was one of the twenty four that 
entered into the organization of Beaver Dam Church, in Isle of Wight. Here she 
remained a faithful member till her death - a period of fifty seven years.

Only two of her six children are now living - James A. Carr and Mills Carr. In 
her last days, she wished her brethren and sisters in the church to come and 
talk with her. Though she could not enjoy the presence of her brethren and 
sisters as she wished, we feel sure she now enjoys the presence of Jesus.

Her funeral services were conducted by the writer.  BY:  J.A. Johnson

[Note: Holland A. Corbitt Carr was the widow of Elisha Carr, (son of Mills Carr 
 Sr and Honour Carr) and she was the daughter of Samuel Corbitt and Obedience 
 (Beady) English.  She had three sons, James, Mills and Matthew Carr, and two 
 daughters, Sarah Ann (Sally) Carr who married Norris Stephenson and Obedience 
 (Beady) Carr who married Elisha Joyner. I do not know whether the sixth child 
 was male or female!! Holland A. Corbitt and Elisha Carr were my great great 
 great grandparents. (pvm)]
