son of Rev. George Washington "Wash" Holly - Elizabeth Bowen
Isaac Holly married Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Simpson. To this union: five sons and two daughters were born.
Mr. Holly was a member of the Church of Christ.
Isaac Caswell Holly patented Abstract No. 1602 in Young County, Texas. Mr. Holly bought land in November of 1879 when the State of Texas under what is known as the Preemption Statute, put the Lower Brazos River Indian Reservation lands on the market for settlers. Isaac Caswell Holly built a rail fence on 30 acres of land on the south end of his property, separating the J.C. Graham Survey, the Brazos River, and the A.A. Coffman Survey. The rail fence or "worm fence" was six rails high and the rails were made out of post oak timber split. In 1880, Isaac Caswell Holly built and erected a house on the land consisting of one room and a "lean to". This house was made of lumber with a shingle roof and the rooms were 12 feet square with a chimney on one end and a tin flue on the "lean to." Isaac Caswell Holly grubbed 30 acres of his land and planted corn. The rest of his land he used for pasture and ran five cattle.
Isaac Caswell Holly died and left his surviving widow and several children.
After Isaac Holly's death, Mrs. E.A. Holly married JJ. Putman on 10 May 1889 officiated by Rev. Warren Cunningham in the Gooseneck schoolhouse.
J.J. Putman purchased all of the interest of the children for the land of Isaac Caswell Holly. While J.J. Putman owned the land, he built a three-strand barbed wire fence with posts every 20 feet, the posts being of mesquite set firmly 18 inches into the ground. The fence crossed draws and ravines with sufficient weight as to stop the cattle from leaving the land. J.J. Putman built and erected a room to the house that Mr. Holly built on the north side of the house. This room was made of lumber hauled from Weatherford and had a shingle roof. Mr. Putman dug a tank for stock water, 300 feet east of the house. The tank was four feet deep and 100 feet wide and 200 feet long. Mr. Putman dug a cistern on the southwest corner of the house 18 feet deep and lined with rock, he then guttered the house so ran water would fill the cistern.
He was a brother of Mary A Holly who is also buried in this cemetery.
On 31 December 1894, J.J. and E.A. Putman sold their land to C.W. Johnson and moved to Oklahoma.
