Obituary: Passes Away: Mrs. Sallie V. Wilson Holmes, aged 59 years, died January 26th, 1927, from a complication of troubles. The daughter of the late F.A. Holmes and Mary Wilson, she was born near Juno, Henderson County, November 17th, 1867, and lived there until 18 years ago when she was carried to Florida for her health, returning the following year. Twelve years ago she moved to Lexington. She was married to Joe H. Holmes and to this union four children were born, the oldest dying in infancy. The three with their father survive: Mrs. Fred H. (Annie Mae) Nevil of Bemis, Mrs. Guy B. (Alberta) Amis and Leroy of this place. She is also survived by one grandchild, Annie Lucile Nevil, a sister, W.A. (Dora) Holmes, and a wide circle of relatives and friends. She professed faith in Christ at the early age of fifteen years and unified with Poplar Springs Methodist Church, later transferring her membership tot he Lexington Church, of which she remained a faithful and active member until death. After funeral services at the Methodist Episcopal Church, burial followed in Lexington Cemetery.

Obituary: Dies Near Juno: Joseph H. Holmes, 73, son of the late John and Mrs. Caroline Jackson Holmes, was born in Henderson County, and died May 20, 1941, at this home in Juno seven miles west of Lexington. The cause of his death was diabetes with complications. Mr. Holmes was twice married, first to Miss Sallie Wilson, who bore him three children: Mrs. Fred Nevils, of Bemis; Mrs. Guy B. Amis and Leroy Holmes of Lexington. His second marriage was to Mrs. Mary McIntire Howell, who survives him with one of the two surviving children. He had long been affiliated with the Methodist Church, his membership being with the older branch of M.E. Church, previous to the consolidation of the three Methodist Churches, and has long been associated with the church at Poplar Springs. Morally, Mr. Holmes was a man of clean character and reputation and in his daily life, and I having known him for more than fifty years, believe he tried to follow the Golden Rule and such was his manner of life that his neighbors, who were a host in number, as well as his many relatives, will revere his memory. Rev. E.M. Trammell conducted the funeral services at Poplar Springs Methodist Church with interment in Lexington Cemetery.

They had the following children:
i. Infant.

47 ii. Annie Mae
iii. Alberta. Resided in Lexington, Henderson County, Tennessee in 1927.

Alberta married Guy B. AMIS. Resided in Lexington, Henderson County, Tennessee in 1927.
