General Notes: Husband - William Forsman Holt


He was born at the old family homestead in Snow Shoe township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and there his youth was mainly spent, his elementary education being supplemented by a course of study during 1874 and 1875 in the Normal School at Millersville, Lancaster County. At his father's death he was appointed administrator of the estate, and later he was the attorney for the estate. Until 1892 he was engaged in the lumber business, but after that date his time was occupied with his extensive coal operations. In June, 1894, he organized the Snow Shoe Mining Co., which he as manager successfully conducted. The mine has a capacity of from 250 to 300 tons per day.
He had an interest in the old homestead, and at times resided there. Socially, he was prominent, and he belonged to Bellefonte Lodge, F. & A. M., and Moshannon Commandery, K. T., of which he was E. C. In politics he was a Democrat.
