"The body of George Holman, one of the first settlers of Wayne County, who was a soldier of the Revolution, was buried within a few yards of the beautiful statue of the Pioneer Mother and there it rested many years. Mr. Holman, when very young man, took part in the only battle of the Revolutionary War that was fought on Indiana soil, according to English's History of the George Rogers Clark expedition and Dunn's History of Indiana. George Holman and Richard Rue, who came to Indiana with Holman were two of that intrepid band of 180 men who were with Clark In the march from Kaskaskia to Vincennes, and participated in the capture of Fort Sackville on February 25, 1779." "I had a letter from Mrs. Ada Giffen Sherwood of Mt. Vernon, Iowa, in which she said her grandfather, George Holman, who died in 1858, was buried in lot 46 in Maple Grove Cemetery.
