Notes about William D. (William D. "Dock") "Dock" Holland

In 1901, Jim Hickey, along with Fels Shockley, Dock Holland and a Dickinson decided to sell tickets and have a group of people come to Texas by train. The venture was known as Holland & Co. In all, 63 people came together and settled about 6 miles south of Henderson in the Hickey settlement. They took the train to Longview and then changed trains.

Lived in right in the city center of Henderson, within walking distance of Vickery Theater. Grandkids would go to the movie there on Saturday nights - 10 cents each for the older ones, 5 cents each for the younger ones.

House originally had a dog trot, which had been enclosed. Well was on the back porch, which was also enclosed. Thomas Wilson Hill recalls 'that was some of the coldest water in Rusk County.' (5/5/2001)
