William 'Bill' Rodman Holder

William Rodman (Bill) Holder, 90, formerly of New Market Indiana passed away at the home of his daughter in Norton, Ohio on January 24, 2025.  He was born on December 27, 1934, in Utica, Indiana to Noble and Evelyn Brendle Holder who preceded him in death.  He was also preceded in death by his wife Leona, siblings Sarah (Jim) McLean, John Holder, Barbara (Randall) Cartright, Hugh (Carolyne) Holder, Donnie (Judy) Holder, and George Holder, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Dorothy (Max) Montgomery, Louise Garrity, Martha (Ron) Montgomery, Dominic Canale, and Linda Mitchell.

Bill was a lifelong farmer. He hauled milk for the Salem Dairy, drove his school bus for the New Washington schools, hauled livestock to stockyards for area farmers, and raised crops and cattle on his farm in New Market. He enjoyed watching westerns and tractor pulls, but most of all, he enjoyed shooting the breeze with his many friends.
