        E. W. HOLLOWAY, M. D.  The medical profession of Hillsborough County 
has many notable exponents, men of wide knowledge and broad training who give
prestige to their work and protect the health of the people of their community.
Among them, perhaps, none stands higher in the confidence and esteem of his
associates, as well as the public at large, than Dr. ELLIS W. HOLLOWAY, one of
the leading practitioners of Tampa. There is probably no man in the city who
has exercised a more beneficial influence, principally because of his
initiative spirit and helpful activity. His career has been characterized by
the highest standards of professional ethics, devotion to duty and principal
and his love for humanity, combined with his strength of character, have gained
for him a high position in his county and community. Doctor Holloway was born
in Thomas County, Georgia, October 29, 1881, a son of TIMOTHY and ANNIE 
(FOLSOM) HOLLOWAY, both natives of Georgia, who came to Florida, where the
mother died, but the father survives and lives at Plant City, Florida. They had
four daughters and eight sons born to them, of whom two of the sons are
physicians. Doctor E. W. is a twin and the twelfth child born.
	The boyhood days of Doctor Holloway were spent in Georgia and at Plant
City, and he attended the public schools of both states, and he secured his
professional training at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Atlanta,
Georgia, from which he was graduated May 1, 1911, with the degree of Doctor of
Medicine. That same summer he located at Tampa, where he has since remained,
building up a large and very valuable practice, and winning and holding the
confidence and friendship of his community.
	On May 1, 1910, Doctor Holloway was married to CLARA McDONALD, only 
daughter of W. G. McDONALD of Hopewell, Florida, and they have one son, CHARLES 
LESTER. Professionally Doctor Holloway maintains membership with the 
Hillsborough County Medical Society. He is a thirty-second degree and Shriner 
Mason and belongs to the Knights of Pythias. While he takes no active part in 
politics, he gives his support to the man he deems best suited for the office 
in question and is not influenced by party affiliations. The Baptist Church 
holds his membership, and he is active in its good work. Dr. Holloway owns a 
comfortable home at 205 Seventh Avenue, and maintains offices at 2015 ½ Seventh 
Avenue. He is one of the directors of the Ybor City and Sulfur Springs Bank, is
otherwise interested in local enterprises, and owns considerable city property.
A man of ample means he believes it his duty to donate of his time and money to
different public undertakings, and has always given an intelligent and hearty
support to those measures which he deems are right and proper. In every walk of
life he has proven his worth as a man, and his skill as a physician and
surgeon, and his standing in profession and social circles is unquestioned. He
keeps in close touch with all that research is bringing to light in the fields
of scientific knowledge, and as a man of marked intellectual activity, his
labors have given impetus to the work of science, and the amelioration of
humanity, and the consequent increase in the sum of happiness.
