Eva Viola Handy was born on May 21st, 1874, near Spring Prairie, Wisconsin, and has spent her whole life in Walworth and Rock Counties. When a child of ten years she united with the Baptist church, and a few years ago transferred her membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church in Milton. On January 8th, 1893, she was united in marriage to Guy Wellington Holliday. To them were born eight children, three sons and five daughters: Raloh R., Mrs. Helen Saunders, Walter W., Howard J., Mrs. Gladys Tiffany, Ruth E., Esther A., and Evalyn G. They all with her husband survive her. She is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. H. W. Cole, Mrs. W. L. Anderson and Mrs.Lillian Stahl. She passed away about 9 o'clock in the evening of November 23rd, 1921, at Mercy Hospital in Janesville. Along with her family cares Mrs. Holliday did an almost incredible amount of work in her church, besides being active in The Service Star Legion, The Woman's Relief Corps, and The King's Daughters. It was little less than marvelous the amount of benevolent and community-betterment service this unassuming woman did. How long would it take, if everybody was willing to spend and be spent as this woman was, to bring this world gloriously to God. We could already begin to rehearse the consummation hymn and prepare to sing, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
After reading the above obituary the pastor Rev. S. A. Sheard preached from the text in Isa. 35:10. Among the many words of appreciation he spoke of Mrs. Holliday, he said, "I deem it one of the greatest priveleges of my life to have been acquainted with this choice woman. The things that impress the world most for good are not contained in books, but written in such lives. Few read books, everyone reads life. It is written in scripture of certain ones, "That they overcame by the word of their testimony." Mrs. Holliday overcame by the testimony of a most Godly life.
While our sorrow is very deep, we rejoice exceedingly for our sorrow has in it - sweetness that is indiscribably blessed, as we believe our sister is even now tasting of the things that God hath in store for them that love him.

Eva is buried with her husband in a family plot in Milton Cemetery. Her grave is marked by a military star for her work in the Woman's Relief Corps.
