Obituary in the Chetopa, Kansas Advance, 25 August 1916:

Marion Holderman of Territory, DEAD. Marion Holderman, 75 years old, one of the earliest settlers of this territory and a veteran of the civil war, died Friday at the military home, Leavenworth, Kas. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary C. Holderman; two sons, Curtis of Twin Falls, Idaho, and Henry of Spavinaw, Okla.; two daughters, Mrs. Neil Fuller of Wellington, Oklahoma.; and Miss Pearl Holderman of Chetopa; three sisters, Mrs. Ruth Gage, Lacygne, Kas.; Mrs. Olive Lyons, Perry, Wash.; and Mrs. Adaline Pickett, Vernon, Colo. The funeral was held Monday afternoon, from the Presbyterian Church here, Rev. S.F. Wishard officiating, and burial being in Oak Hill cemetery. The services were conducted under the auspices of Pea Ridge post, G.A.R., of which deceased was a member. A great crowd of friends filled the church during the services. Mr. Holderman was born in Ohio November 23, 1840. He came to Kansas territory in 1858, settling near the old trading post in Linn County. He was an active member of the Free Soil party and a follower of John Brown. He enlisted in the Sixth Kansas volunteer cavalry in 1862 and served three years during the war, being discharged in Duvall Bluff, Ark. August 10, 1864. About a year before his discharge from the army he was captured by the Confederates in a surprise attack at Mazzard Prairie, Ark., when the Sixth Kansas lost 115 men. He was taken to Tyler, Tex., and imprisoned but escaped and made his way north to his command after escaping bloodhounds and suffering terrible trials. In 1866 Mr. Holderman married Miss Mary Covel at Denmark, Ia., and shortly afterward they came to Chetopa, near which place they have lived since, occupying what is known as the Holderman ranch, southwest of town. Of recent years Mr. Holderman has been in ill health and has been at the military home.
