Hollis Lathem, former chairman of the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners, passed away at the age of 86. He was remembered as a hardworking and devoted family man who loved Cherokee County. During his time as chairman in the mid-1990s, he focused on managing the county's growth while maintaining its small-town charm. Notable accomplishments included establishing the emergency system and bringing the Georgia National Cemetery to Cherokee County. Lathem played a significant role in the development of the Hollis Q. Lathem Reservoir, a major project for the Cherokee County Water and Sewer Authority. Besides his local roles, he also served on Georgia's State Board of Education. Lathem had a successful banking career and was known for his dedication and leadership. He enjoyed farming, traveling, and had a close-knit family. Memorial services were held in his memory, and the family requested donations to the Cherokee County Educational Foundation in lieu of flowers. For more on this story, visit tribuneledgernews.com.
