In some way, it is said, the lad fell from the truck, which was in motion, and must have rolled under the wheels. It is reported that death was caused by the wheels of the truck. No one else was hurt in the accident. Private Holland had been a member of the armed forces for a little more than five months, having been one of thirty-five Somerset county selectees, the largest group thus far to be inducted, to leave Princess Anne on April 7th, of this year. At the time of his death he was attached to the Provisional Anti-Tank Battalion of the 110th Field Artillery and had served creditably during the time he had been in the army.
Private Holland, who was thirty years age, possessed an engaging personality and many sterling traits of character which served to endear him to an ever widening circle of friends who were shocked to learn of his sudden death.
Funeral services will he held this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock from his late home at Marion, with the Rev. Hermann Bischoff, pastor of the Rehoboth Presbyterian Church, officiating.
