Biographical/Historical: Major Holmes Conrad was born in Winchester, VA, USA on January 31, 1840 to Robert Young Conrad and Elizabeth Whiting Powell. He attended Winchester Academy, Virginia Military Institute (VMI), and University of VA. During the Civil War, he rose from a private to a major and assistant inspector general of Rosser’s Cavalry Division. After the war, he studied law in his father’s law office and was admitted to the bar in 1866.

He was elected to the VA House of Delegates from Winchester and Frederick County in 1881-82. He created a thriving law practice in Washington, DC and handled several cases in the federal courts. In 1893, he was appointed Assistant Attorney General of the U.S., and in 1895 he became Solicitor General. He continued to be involved in cases before the Supreme Court for over 20 years despite presidential administration changes. In 1901, he served on the law faculty of Georgetown University as a lecturer. He was also the first president of the Handley Board of Trustees and continued in that capacity until his death. Holmes Conrad was married twice and had seven children. After his death on September 4, 1915, he was buried in Mt. Hebron Cemetery, Winchester, VA.
