Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
We have even more sad news
this afternoon. Beloved Newport News High School
teacher,
Miss Emilie Holladay, passed away in
Farmville on Sunday, April 6, 2008.
From an Anonymous Richmond Reader - 04/08/08 - "Notice for Emilie Crenshaw Holladay":
Had seen your page about Ms. Holladay a while back and thought I'd send you this update. She had been in poor health since the fall, but at 97 I guess that is to be expected. She was still very active and driving up until then.
Please visit the Notice for Emilie Crenshaw Holladay.

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 04/08/08:
Thank you, Joe.
Perhaps it was indeed the shyness. I invariably behaved the same way
myself whenever encountering a teacher outside of school.
From Ed Nichols ('62) of Northern VA - 05/17/08:
Hi Carol.
.I was saddened by the passing of Miss Holladay, my algebra teacher in the 11th grade. She was a no-nonsense teacher but I felt a really fine teacher. She surprised us all in 1960, the final game of the World Series. I had her in F period and everyone knew it was a 9 to 9 game in the nine inning. We had thought no way would she let us listen to the game. But surprise, surprise, she asked, "Who has a radio?" and of course, someone did. Soon after Bill Mazeroski hit his famous walk-off home run and the Pirates won and Miss Holladay had scored many points with her students.
Ed Nichols, NNHS Class of 1962
Thank you, Eddie.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

O Lord of Life, Where'er They Be
- Lyrics by
Frederick L. Hosmer, 1888;
Music by
Melchior Vulpius (circa
1560-1615)
O Lord of life, where’er they be,
Safe in Thine own eternity,
Our dead are living unto Thee:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
All souls are Thine, and here or there
They rest within Thy sheltering care;
One providence alike they share:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thy Word is true, Thy ways are just;
Above the requiem, “Dust to dust,”
Shall rise our psalm of grateful trust:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O happy they in God who rest,
No more by fear and doubt oppressed,
Living or dying, they are blest:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
