His mother and sister were at his bedside when he passed away. He was a prominent member of the junior class and a popular member of the Emory Chapter of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. He was active in every phase of college life and was one of the most popular members of the student body. The interment will be at Sandersville. Many flowers were sent by the Emory student body, faculty, his class and the fraternities. The Sandersville Georgian, 31 Jan 1912: CURTIS HOLT DIED AT EMORY COLLEGE POPULAR YOUNG MAN OF SANDERSVILLE SUCCUMBS TO ATTACK OF PNEUMONIA It become the sad duty of the writer to chronicle the death of one of Sandersville's most popular young men, Mr. Curtis L. Holt, second son of Mr. and Mrs. L.B. Holt of this city, which sad event occurred last Saturday at Oxford, Ga., after an illness of four days of pneumonia, aged nineteen years. As soon as the disease developed, his parents were notified and they left at once for Oxford where he was a student at Emory College. It was hoped that the vigor of youth would enable him to withstand the attack, but the inroads upon his physical condition were rapid, and on Saturday the sad news was flashed over the wire that his life on this earth had come to an end. the news cast a pall of gloom over the entire city, as Curtis was a boy who was esteemed by all who knew him for his many qualities, his friendly disposition, and his courtesy and consideration towards everybody. It was his custom whenever he came home from school to make the rounds of the business houses and shake hands with his friends, and this thoughtfulness on his part made everybody feel that in his death they had lost a personal friend, and it can be truly said that there was never a death of a young man in this community which brought forth so many expressions of sorrow and regret. the remains arrived on the night passenger train of the Central railroad early Sunday morning and a special train over the Sandersville railroad met it at Tennille and conveyed the funeral party to Sandersville. The funeral services were conducted at the residence of his parents Sunday afternoon at two o'clock and from there the body was conveyed to the city cemetery where the burial took place. the floral offerings of sympathizing friends were beautiful, and in this feeble manner gave expression of the deep sympathy for the bereaved family in their grief and sorrow.
