Other Information

Stone cleaned in 2021 and repaired in 2022 Holder was a lifelong farmer and married another Wordell, Rachel, the daughter of Gershom V and Peace Wordell on October 27, 1834 in Dartmouth. Gershom had worked the shipyards before settling into a life of farming. Rachel was a year younger than her husband. Holder and Rachel had seven children. One of the couple’s four daughters, Lydia, died as a young child, but three, Ardelia, Hope, and Minerva, all became local school teachers. The other daughter, Emeline, lived and worked at home with her mother while brothers Allen and Perry spent their younger years working the family farm with their father. Rachel died at age 63 in 1872 after 38 years of marriage, leaving Holder to soldier on with his unmarried daughters. Research: T Baptista
