Daniel Holland, M.D., was born in Robertson County, Tennessee, in the year 1801. His family had migrated from Maryland, to North Carolina, to Tennessee, and in 1831, Daniel moved further on to Calloway County, Kentucky.
Wiley Holland, Daniel's son moved to Madison County, Mississippi, where, in 1852, there was a severe smallpox epidemic. Wiley sent his father a telegraph to come help., Dr. Daniel Holland made his will in May of the same year stating:
In the name of God, Amen. I Daniel Holland, Sr., of the County of Calloway and State of Kentucky, being of sound mind and disposing memory, expecting to take a journey into a new Country of some considerable length and, calling to mind, the uncertainty of human life, and being desirous should I not be permitted to return, to dispose of all such worldly estate as it hath pleased God to bless me with.
A couple of months go by and Daniel Holland returned home in the horse drawn buggy in which he departed on the trip, but not alive. He had contracted the disease he had gone to Mississippi to treat, and died on the way home. His faithful horse finding its own way, brought his body back home. Daniel was buried July 20th, 1852, at the age of 51 years young in the small family cemetery on his farm which still exists among family & friends.
