Note for: David V. Holt, 5 OCT 1835 - Index

Individual Note:
David commenced life without a dollar. His first money being earned in hewing timber, at which he was an expert. He assisted in preparing rafts for lumber dealers, until he finally entered into a partnership with his uncle, John Holt, their business being in the same line he had previously been engaged in. They were, owing to the fall in prices, unsuccesful in their business ventures, and at its close Mr. Holt found himself no better off financially than when they commenced. After his marriage he still continued in the lumber business, his operations being mostly in Clearfield County. In 1855 he became associated with Herman Mather of Troy, N.Y., in the lumber business. At the death of Mr. Mather, Mr. Holt bought out the Mather interest in the business and timber lands. In 1868 he consolidated the lands with those owned by the heirs of his wife's father. In August of that year (1868) the lands were all sold, but the minerals reeserved, in the summer of 1869, through the efforts of Mr. Holt, the railroad was extended from Philipsburg to the Morrisdale mines, which are on the lands formerly owned by him and the Allport heirs. They were opened and the buildings built under his supervision, and in January, 1870, he shipped from these mines the first car load of coal shipped over the Morrisdale Branch of the railroad. In 1875 the mines were sold to Messrs. Wigton & Dorris, soon after which he bought the mills of Jones, Allport & Co., and again became and is still a heavy dealer in lumber. Mr. Holt is also connected with the Philipsburg Banking Company, and interested in several mines which are now in operation. He is president of the Driving-Park Association, and Electric Light Company. He gives employment to a large number of men whom he manages with skill and success. There are those who have lived longer in Philipsburg than but none that have done more for its advancement and general prosperity than he, and he ranked among the most successful businessmen of Centre and Clearfield Counties. Mrs. David Holt is a daughter of James and Matilda (Hunter). Her father was born in Martley, Worcester, England, May 11, 1799. (Scanned from Linn's History of CC Co., pgs. 397 & 398) JCB
