  Father	Abraham A. Holdeman,   b. 28 Nov 1838, Congress Township, Wayne, Ohio U.S.A. ,   d. 10 Jul 1895, Van Buren County, Michigan U.S.A.  (Age 56 years)
  Mother	Elizabeth Curtis,   b. 15 Mar 1848, Waterloo County, Canada West ,   d. 08 Nov 1924, Lee, Allegan, Michigan U.S.A.  (Age 76 years)
  Married	25 Dec 1864	Elkhart County, Indiana U.S.A.
  Notes	Married by Samuel Holdeman, Justice of the Peace. Less than three years after marriage Abraham and Elizabeth moved to Noble Township, Branch County, Michigan, where a few Mennonite families had settled shortly before, and in a neighborhood where there had seldom been any religious services. As early as 1866 Mennonite ministers made trips to Branch County, and John M. Brenneman has reported a visit he made there when on November 20, 1867 a meeting was held at the home of Abraham Holdeman, where two persons were received into the church. The membership then numbered twenty-eight, and they were in need of a meeting-house. In 1873 Abraham moved with his family back to Elkhart County, Indiana near Wakarusa, and later near Nappanee, but returned to Branch County, Michigan. The final move was to Bloomingdale Township, Van Buren County, Michigan. Abraham was a soldier in the Civil War, having enrolled, September 5, 1861 at LaPorte, Indiana for three years. He was a member of Company C, 9th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and on December 26, 1862 at the battle of Lavargne was severely wounded. He was discharged September 15, 1864. A daughter of Abraham, who had not reached her ninth birthday when her father died, wrote of him as follows: "He exacted obedience and might have been considered stern, but he never seemed so to me; he must have been quite patient , for he helped me all one summer after I had failed in the second grade. I do not remember any coercion about the study, for I distinctly remember that I was tempted to give up when I reached the place where the fine print began. It seems the decision to continue was entirely my own. When I was small I sat beside him a great deal on winter days and remember that, though I had two places to play, I was never allowed to have more than one strewn with paper dolls, etc. at a time. When I went to the other place the one where I had been playing had to be put in order first. I have always been thankful for that training in order. My father's word was counted good and he was able to say "It's alright" before his sudden death. He was one of those whose life was shortened as a result of his three years in the army." (Weaver, 1937) [http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/a/i/Philip-D-Bailey/GENE1-0007.html]
