M. R. HOLLIS

    Marlin R. (Mook) Hollis, b. July 13, 1891, is a grandson of Marlin Thomas
Hollis, a citizen of Talbot and Marion Counties before he came to Chattahoochee
after his marriage to Miss Mary Duncan in 1866, who lived at Duncan't Mill (Ida
Vesper).

    Mr. Hollis had two sons and several daughters by his first marriage to Miss
Martha King. One of these sons, Marlin Jr. with his family has resided at Fort
Worth, Texas for many years. The other, Richard H. who married Miss Lula Miller,
was the father of Chattahoochee's present representative. Mr. Hollis died on the
last day of the recent session of the legislature of which his son was a member,
voting for measures favorable to his constituents.

    "Mook" Hollis was in Medical Dept. Unit One during the World War. During
recent years he has served as Deputy Sheriff, Justice of Peace, and Chairman of
the County Democrat Executive Committee. He married Miss Emily Van Horn Dec. 27,
1925. They reside in Cusseta where both families are among the best known and
most influential. In a quiet way Mr. and Mrs. Hollis do much to assist the less
fortunate and are interested in the civic welfare of the community. Mrs. Hollis
is president of the Parent-Teacher Association at Cusseta.

    Marlin R. Hollis' maternal grandfather, Mr. Hezekiah Miller, a fine
mechanic, had a shop at Gobbler's Hill (Manta) which was well known throughout
the country. There he had all facilities for making wagons and buggies, a
blacksmith shop being an important adjunct of this industry. Although educated
as a book keeper, Marlin R. possesses the same mechanical skill which he has
sometimes put to practical use in the repair of motor-vehicles.

    His political  career will be determined  in  the  future.
