A Frightful Accident.
Judge Geo. W. Holland was seriously, if not fatally, injured on Saturday night of last week by being thrown from a carriage behind a runaway team. A party of ladies and gentlemen had been attending a party at the residence of Miss [sic] Fannie Louise Smith, near Perch Lake in Cass county, and were returning about 1 o'clock. The carriage in which Judge Holland was riding also contained Alec. McNaughton, Miss Ella Robinson and Miss [sic] Lizzie Tennis. During the ride the carriage collided with a stump and the pole was broken. It was discovered and was repaired as well as could be by straps and it was thought to be safe enough until the party would arrive at their homes, which was only a short distance, but it seems that when the vehicle came upon the Mississippi wagon bridge the pole parted again and let the carriage upon the horses' heels and they started on a run and soon became unmanageable, the unguided carriage plunging from side to side nearly half way over the bridge. Mr. McNaughton jumped from his seat and endeavored to stop the frightened horses but a sudden plunge brought the carriage up against the bridge timbers and went to pieces, throwing the parties out and seriously injuring Judge Holland, who struck on the right side of his head and was insensible when assistance arrived. Help was summoned from the Sanitarium, close at hand, and he was carried on a cot to the Arlington Hotel. He did not regain consciousness and has been in a deep sleep nearly all the time since. A blood vessel in the brain was ruptured and which has resulted in paralysis of his right side. All that medical aid could do has been done for him, and it is thought that he is a little easier to-day, although he is by no means out of danger. The physicians state that if the blood absorbs and does not clot in his brain he will probably recover, but if not, inflammation will set in with fatal results. The greatest sympathy is expressed on all sides and it is sincerely hoped by every person in the city that he will recover as his death would be a calamity, not only at home but to the entire northern part of the state.
The other members of the party were not injured to any extent excepting a few bruises and scratches. It is the greatest wonder in the world that some of them were not precipitated into the river below as the bridge is not a tight one, only being guarded by a slight railing. (Brainerd Dispatch, 08 November 1889, p. 4, c. 4)
We are pleased to announce that Judge Holland is slowly recovering from his recent serious injuries. It is thought that the critical period is passed, and that his recovery is now certain, although necessarily very slow. His mind, it is reported, is bright and clear, and he is also regaining the use of his right side, being able to move his right leg and arm. (Brainerd Dispatch, 15 November 1889, p. 4, c. 4)
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the First National Bank was held on Monday, at which time the following directors were elected: G. W. Holland, B. A. Ferris, Adam Brown, A. F. Ferris, Leon E. Lum, H. J. Spencer and G. D. LaBar. (Brainerd Dispatch, 15 January 1892, p. 4, c. 3)
The Iron Exchange Building, built of yellow-enamel brick by W. D. McKay, Ransford R. Wise, George Holland and George LaBar in 1910-11, it is the largest single business structure in the city. It occupies almost the entire south half of the block on the west side of Sixth Street between Front and Laurel Streets and contains store space, office space, lodge rooms, a restaurant and a hotel. [The building burns on 22 July 1970.] (Brainerd 1871-1946, Carl Zapffe, Colwell Press, Incorporated, Minneapolis, Minnesota: 1946; pp. 74-75)

April 1913. Shortly after 11:00 this morning, Judge G. W. Holland, one the Northwest's most prominent financiers, bankers and mining men, accidentally shot and killed himself in his office. He was cleaning his .25 automatic pistol when it discharged, firing three bullets. (This Was Brainerd, Brainerd Dispatch 22 April 2013)
HIS DEATH A SAD
LOSS TO BRAINERD
_____
City and Vicinity Mourn Passing
Away of Kind and Generous
Judge G. W. Holland
_____
WAS RESIDENT HERE 41 YEARS
_____
He Was Identified With Almost Every
Important Move Toward Im-
proving Brainerd
Judge G. W. Holland was one of the public spirited, enterprising, wholehearted citizens of Brainerd. Identified with Brainerd from its earliest history, he literally grew up with the town. Young, vigorous and determined, he made this city his home in the early days in October, 1871, at a time when he and this city were just at the beginning of their careers.
He was born in Westville, N. Y., on March 17, 1843. He took a literary course at the University of Wisconsin and studied law at Berlin in the same state, where he was admitted to the bar. The Northern Pacific railway had just been built to Brainerd and in casting about for an opening he decided that Brainerd offered good opportunities for a young lawyer about to engage in practice.
Shortly after, he was elected county attorney, holding that position continuously until he was elected judge, being a period of about fifteen years. He was elected judge of the district in 1888, defeating C. B. Sleeper. He was elected a second time six years later, defeating P. V. Coppernoll, of Wadena. He had a partner in the law business early in the seventies. Later Judge W. S. McClenahan became his partner in 1883 until the time he went on the bench.
He was a very successful practitioner and vigorous prosecuting attorney. possessed of the highest integrity, he commanded the respect of all.
"In 1882," said Judge McClenahan, he had an office on the railway right of way west of the hose house. When I became a partner of the judge, we removed to rooms in the newly completed First National bank block where formerly S. R. Adair had his jewelry store. The judge was a candidate to the legislature as a democrat and was defeated by Dr. J. R. Howes."
Upon leaving the bench, Judge Holland devoted himself to real estate, mining and other business investments. No history of the banking interests of Brainerd would be complete without special reference to Judge Holland. When the matter of the organization of what is now the First National bank of Brainerd was on foot it was Judge Holland who drew all necessary legal papers in connection with the work and he was a stockholder from the start and a member of the first board of directors elected at the organization of the bank on the 11th day of October, 1881. There have been few board meeting which he had not attended. He served continuously as a director and was also vice president of the bank.
Judge Holland, seeing the future of Brainerd clearly, had invested heavily in real estate and had not only much city realty but large property interests throughout the country and had extensive holdings in the best iron ore lands on the Cuyuna range.
He was instrumental with R. R. Wise and Wm. C. White in organizing the Brainerd Mining company of which he was vice president. This company is the fee owner of the property at Barrows being operated by the M. A. Hanna Co. He was active in the development of iron lands and last week had closed leases on lands he owned on the south side and in Southeast Brainerd.
To many people of Brainerd the loss of Judge Holland comes as a sad blow. It means the passing away of a good and faithful friend, a man who believed in the upbuilding of Brainerd and this county, a man who was unostentatious in his charities and who was always willing to help the man or project which needed assistance.
Looking back over the files of the Daily Dispatch on March 17, one reads a little interview the judge gave the writer. The judge in simple language referred to the life hereafter and reading it in conjunction with his sudden passing away, one is moved to tears. he was 70 years old that 17th of March. He stated:
"I was a resident of Brainerd 41 years on the ninth of October last. Am near to the mouth of life's river. The great unknown ocean that all must navigate is a little way ahead, just across the bend.
"I feel that if I help do anything for the city that all my business life has been spent in, I should act quickly.
"I am with the boosters to the end. I sometimes think it useless to talk and work so hard for our town.
"Brainerd will be here building beautiful streets, manufacturing plants, sky scrapers and other improvements a million years after we are gone, but most residents of a city cannot help feeling that way.
"I am mistaken so often about Brainerd's future that I hesitate to express an opinion, but I hope she will don a part of her new suit this summer and like the boy with the new red top boots look happy and say she will be a bigger girl next year."
The judge attained high rank in the Masonic order, being actively identified with the various local orders of the Masons and Zurah Temple of the Mystic Shrine at Minneapolis.
He leaves a nephew, George D. LaBar, president of the First National bank of this city; three nieces, being Mrs. A. B. Church of Long Prairie, Mrs. E. S. Person of Minot, N. D. and Mrs. J. A. Fizzel of Montreal, Canada, and a nephew, H. W. Spencer of Malone, N. Y.
There are no living brothers or sisters.
The remains will lie in state at the undertaking parlors of Losey & Dean until 10 o'clock Friday morning, when they will be removed to the resident of George D. LaBar, 324 North Seventh street and may be viewed there until two o'clock in the afternoon.
At three o'clock the funeral will be held from the residence of Mr. LaBar, the services being conducted under the auspices of the Masonic order, Aurora Lodge, No. 100, with Ascalon Commandery of the Knights Templar acting as an escort. The short services at the house will be by Rev. G. F. Sheridan, pastor of the First Congregational church. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.

Tributes to His Memory
Telegram from Wm. C. White of Milwaukee, Wis., to R. R. Wise: "I am greatly shocked by the sad news. Brainerd has lost one of its ablest and best citizens."
R. R. Wise: "We have lost Judge Holland just when Brainerd most needed him."
Judge W. S. McClenahan: "He was a man of the strictest integrity, honorable in all his dealings, good hearted and a generous man."
Former Senator S. F. Alderman: "Judge Holland was one of the first persons with whom I became acquainted on my arrival in Brainerd thirty years ago this spring. At that time he was county attorney and was engaged in the prosecution of criminal cases at the spring term of court before Judge O. P. Stearns, at that time the district judge. it required but a short time, as a spectator at that term of court, to learn the true character, worth and ability of Judge Holland as a prosecutor and practitioner. His duty was performed without fear or favor and he was regarded, by all who knew him, as an honest man. In the fall of 1888, he was elected judge of the district court over Judge Sleeper, who was then presiding judge under appointment from the governor. This office he presided over for 12 years when he was succeeded by Judge McClenahan.
"Soon after retiring from the district bench Judge Holland became actively engaged in the real estate business and to him is due much credit for the discovery and development of what is known as the south range, on which he had and owns several iron mines.
"During my thirty years' acquaintance with Judge Holland I never knew him to betray a trust or to betray a friend and in his business dealings, while firm and unyielding in his views, yet his word was always considered as good as his bond and no man ever charged unfairness on his part.
"Identified with almost every important move toward the improvement and betterment of our city, he was looked upon as one of the most public spirited citizens of this entire community and one always ready to give liberally to every charitable cause. The city and community have met with irreparable loss in the death of our old friend, but his works commenced will live as long as our fair city shall stand."
George A. Keene: "He was county attorney when I came to Brainerd. later he became circuit judge. Judge Holland was connected with many business enterprises. He was always public spirited, generous and good hearted. People called him lucky, but he was far-sighted. Land which he purchased from us at $6 an acre he sold later for $300."

JUDGE HOLLAND'S
BROAD GENEROSITY

Bequest to City of Land Believed to
be Worth Enough to Pay all
City's Debts

HE REMEMBERS OLD FRIENDS
_____
Every Church Having Church Build-
ing, Holding Regular Services,
Given $1,000
There was filed in the probate court on Wednesday, April 30, the last will and testament of the late Judge George W. Holland. Marked by the broad generosity, in which love of friends is equally exemplified with love for his home city of Brainerd, in which churches of the city, the Carnegie library and the Salvation Army share equally as well as the Masonic order, in which kindred are remembered. In fact, Judge Holland's will is a document the like of which has never been seen.
It is a document full of human interest and reading its paragraphs one traces readily the quaint phraseology of the judge. He remembers this and that friend and writes how he became acquainted with him, what service may have been rendered him and he shows his gratitude by the bequest he has penned.
It is a will which carries more permanent blessings to a greater number of people than any other donation ever given in the state. By the provisions of the will virtually every person, every church organization having a building and holding regular church services, becomes a beneficiary. Every individual in Brainerd will have cause to remember with thanksgiving the wise and beneficent provisions embodied in the will and Judge George W. Holland stands enshrined in the hearts of the citizens of the city he loved so well and of which community he was a leading factor for 41 years.
Greater than any monument that can be reared in his honor is the feeling of gratitude inspired in and perpetuated in the citizens by his good deeds. He has passed away but the good he has done will live after him for ages to come.
The will reads:
THE WILL

I was acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Merritt and family from the time of their arrival in Brainerd. After the death of Mr. Merritt his widow remained in the same house with the family. A few months before her death, while talking to me, she said—"My husband and oldest daughter Minnie are dead, my oldest boy is in New Haven, my other boy is in Tacoma, my remaining two daughters and I are here in Brainerd." "Mr. Holland," she said, "you have been a friend of our family since we came here. Promise me if I am suddenly taken away that you will help Nellie and Florene [sic] financially, while single, if they are in need." I promised, but did not think her serious as she seemed in good health. Soon after, I was informed that Mrs. Merritt was dead. Florene [sic] is still single, and her sister Nellie's husband is a model Christian gentleman but not strong financially.

The child of my deceased sister Jane and husband Lewis Lord, now living, is Mrs. Clara E. Lord Luse [sic], now of Eugene, Oregon. The children of my deceased sister Helen and husband Newell Spencer, now living are Harman W. Spencer, of Malone, N. Y., and Leafy Spencer Fizzell, of No. 123 Sharon street, Montreal, Canada.

Holland and wife, are Stelis [sic] Holland Person, of Minot, North Dakota, and Mary Holland Church, of Long Prairie, Todd County, Minnesota.
The value of real estate in Crow Wing County, Minnesota, is now changing so quickly and unexpectedly, that I desire and I hereby request that none of the real property of which I died seized shall be sold or divided among those entitled thereto until after the expiration of five years after my decease, except lots on the corner of Front Street and Broadway, in Brainerd, Minnesota, may be sold at any time.

From my examination of blue prints of drill holes on adjacent lands, and the use of dip needles thereon, I guess there will be mineral enough found in said land to pay all the indebtedness of the City of Brainerd, but at this time it is only a guess.
Lastly, I make, constitute and appoint Arthur B. Church, husband of my deceased brother's girl Mary, and George D. LaBar, son of my deceased sister Mary, to be Executors of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made.
In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal, the 14th day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirteen.
(Seal) GEO. W. HOLLAND.

The estimated value of the estate at this time is $152,000 in personal property and $150,000 in real estate. The latter, however, may show a considerable increase.
Mrs. Clara E. Lord Luce [sic], one of residuary legatees, passed away in January of this year and her share reverts to the remaining legatees. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 01 May 1913, p. 3, c. 1) [Contributed by John Van Essen]
