Obituary, printed in the "Camden Confederate", 19 Jun 1863:

"Died, at the Ladies' Hospital in Columbia, S.C. on the 12th of May,
1863, of Typhoid Dysentery, JOHN HOLLAND, of Sumter District, S.C.  The
deceased had been a member of Capt. DePass' Company for the last 12
months, and stationed on James Island, near Charleston, where he
discharged the duties of a good soldier in the service of his country, in
whose service he fell.
He was born September 1836.  His father died when he was nine years old. 
He assumed the care of his mother's business while a youth, and was a
very industrious and obedient young man to his mother.  He married in
1857, and commenced business for himself, was a good husband, and leaves
a wife and two children and many relatives and friends who mourn his
loss; but they sorrow not as those who have no hope; for he possessed
faith in Christ, and was baptised, he and his wife the same day together,
in the fellowship of Antioch Church, in Kershaw District in October 1860,
and was a consistent member the remainder of his life, and died the death
of the righteous, and is gone to that rest that remains for the people of
God.  May the Lord santify this deep affiction to the surviving relatives
and be a father to the fatherless and judge to the widow."
