J.H. HOLLOWAY, 87, SUCCUMBS
Funeral services for James Harrison Holloway, 87, who died Wednesday morning 
at 9:15 o'clock after an extended illness, will be conducted from the home of 
his daughter, Mrs. Arrie Sanders, in County Line community this (Thursday) 
morning at 10 o'clock.

In failing health for several years, Mr. Holloway suffered a broken collar 
bone in a fall last week.  His condition had been critical since that time.  
The eldest son of Cynthia and Harrison Holloway, pioneer residents of Schley 
county, Mr. Holloway had lived his entire life in the county, being a 
prominent farmer before advanced age forced his retirement.  Sixty-eight years 
ago he married Miss Elmyra Childers of Schley county, who died in July, 1928.  
He was a member of the Methodist church.

Surviving are six daughters, Mrs. R.S. Allen, Mrs. Davey McElhenny and Mrs. 
Arrie Sanders, all of Schley county; Mrs. Jewel McElhenny, West Palm Beach, 
Fla., Mrs. J.R. Cook, Sardis, Mrs. A.M. Park, Ideal; three sons, J.H., J.J., 
and E.L. Holloway, all of Schley county.

The Rev. C.L. Shippey of Salem and the Rev. Charles D. Carter of Ellaville 
will officiate at the funeral and burial will be in Ellaville cemetery.

Active pallbearers will be Harris(on?) Holloway, Jr., Earl Holloway, Herman 
Holloway, J.R. Cook, Ossie Allen and Herman Park.



Additional Comments:
You will note this obituary is for James Harrison Holloway.  Apparently the 
paper made an error and the deceased was actually James Robert Holloway his 
father.  Additionally, the Georgia Death Index indicates J.R. Holloway died 
August 16, 1939, not August 15.  I don't which of those is correct.
 
Birl Brown caught this error and writes:
 
"In the publication of the Ellaville Sun of 8/17/39 there is an error. The 
Holloway referred to was James Robert Holloway, the father of James Harrison 
Holloway who is listed as a pallbearer at the funeral.
 
It was James Robert that married Elmira Z. (Ella); James Harrison's wife was 
Thronie Dykes."
