Holt, Albert - IR Oct. 11, 1888 - A sudden death - Last Sunday afternoon, Albert Holt, a well known colored man was found dead in his bed at his home on Washington street. The immediate cause was heart trouble. His age was 42. He arrived in Ironton in 1856. He came from Kentucky with quite a company of slaves that had been liberated by their owner, Judge Holt. Judge Holt came to Ironton with his old slaves, and while living, exercised toward them a most fatherly care. He bought a little farm above Ice Creek for one of them. He also, purchased the cottage where Mrs. Moreland lives for another and it has remained in the family of the owner ever since. Judge Holt died in this town a few years after his arrival, mourned by his former slaves and this entire community. The way he happened to come to Ironton was Rev. J. F. Given, a nephew of his, preached at Spencer Chapel. Mr. Given was probably the finest scholar Spencer ever had. He was a man of wonderfully fine social and scholarly instincts; and he won Judge Holt to him and his liberal ideas. Thus Judge Holt came here and gathered his old slaves about him, and helped them to enjoy their freedom. . . . Albert Holt was ten years old when the little colony of freedmen came to town in 1856. . . .
