![]() NPS Photo Many immigrants came to the Copper Country from Camborne, Cornwall. James Holman was born there in 1833 to mine blacksmith Nicholas and his wife Mary. By the time James was a teenager he was already working as a miner; about the time of his 18th birthday he joined a group of friends moving to Michigan. ![]() NPS Photo James and Emily were laid to rest in Rockland's Woodlawn Cemetery, and other family members have since joined them there. It's a peaceful place to end an immigrant story.
