Body

Austin County authorities left Wednesday morning to drive to San Antonio to bring Virginia Hollis back home to Bellville. Citizens all along the procession route from San Antonio paid tribute the nine-year-old by lining the Interstate 10 through Columbus.

Virginia Hollis, 9, was attending Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp which has been a summertime retreat for generations for Texas girls. She was staying in Cabin Twins 2 when floodwaters from the Guadalupe River rushed through the campgrounds.
