John Holloway Obituary

From the scrapbook of Sarah Jane (Sledge) Holloway
wife of son Ulysses Grant Holloway.

One son, John, was born 27 September 1881 a few days after his father's death
so total children would be nine instead of eight as the obituary states.

Young John married Cordia Miller and settled in Malden, MO.
