It is with deep sadness that we report that IWCC Arbitrator and La Salle County Historical Society President Douglas Holland, of Oglesby, passed away unexpectedly at his home in the early morning hours Thursday at the age of 56.  Arb. Holland had served as an arbitrator with the Commission since 1989, and prior to that served for three years as a Commissioner.

Arrangements for Arb. Holland are pending at the Mueller Funeral Home in Ottawa with visitation from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday. Mass  will be at 10 a.m. Monday at St. Mary’s Church in Utica.
