• Cornwall-born Peter Holman, left, was first a miner and later a downtown grocer. His son-in-law, John N. Mitchell, right, was a furniture dealer. Mitchell married Holman's daughter Elizabeth in 1880 and later served as Hancock's fire chief. Holman and Mitchell both operated businesses on the south side of Quincy Street in the 200 block.
