Dr. E. R. Holliday was born in Calumet county, Wisconsin, May 21, 1865, and received his early education in the common and high schools. He is a son of William and Betsie M. Holliday, both natives of St. Lawrence co., New York. They came to Wisconsin after their marriage, about the year 1850, and settled at Hayton, Calumet Co., where the father purchased wild lands, which he improved and there made his home until his death, in 1892.
He was a prosperous and progressive man. His widow is still living at the age of eighty- four years and resides with her children. The subject of this sketch left home when he was seventeen years of age. He taught school four years in Clark County, Wisconsin, and two years in Calumet County, and then took up the study of medicine. He attended the College of Physicians and surgeons of Chicago, and graduated from that institution in 1893, being valedictorian of his class. He immediately began the practice of his profession at Clear Lake, Wisconsin, and remained there one year.
He resided two years at Amery, Wisconsin, and in the winter of 1896 came to Ellsworth and has been here every since, with the exception of 1901, when he was assistant superintendent of the state home for the feeble minded at Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
The doctor has a good general practice at Ellsworth and the surrounding country. He is a member of the Plaros County Medical Society, Wisconsin State Medical Association, and the American Medical Association. Non-partisan in politics, he was the first president of the village of Clear Lake, Wisconsin, and has served as one of the village's council of Ellsworth for several terms.
