Her Distinguished Dead in Rose Hill Cemetery
Richard H. Clark in the Sunny South

"Isaac Holmes is there -- so long a citizen of Macon, a soldier in the
Florida war, captain of the Macon volunteers, and officer of the Georgia
regiment in the Mexican war. He died during his service in Mexico, whence
his remains were brought and buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. He there has a
splendid monumental commemorative of him. He had a fine presence, a
faculty of attaching men to him, and hence enjoyed a great popularity."
