Holloman, S. C., M. D., well known and successful physician of Washington,
St. Landry parish, La., was born at Harrisonburg, La., Catahoula parish,
Feb. 13, 1881; son of M. F. and Mollie E. (Thompson) Holloman, both of whom
were born in the same locality as was the son, where the father was engaged
in mercantile business during more than 21 years.  At this time, however,
he is following the business of a traveling salesman.  The paternal
grandfather came from South Carolina.  The mother's parents were from
Mississippi.  Both parents are living at this time.  S. C. Holloman, the
subject of this sketch, was the first of 7 children born to his parents.
He attended the public schools of Harrisonburg, graduating from the high
school of that place, and when his academic education was deemed completed,
he entered the Memphis School of Medicine, from which in due time he
graduated with the degree of M. D., in the class of 1900.  When his
professional education had been finished he returned to Harrisonburg and
there began the practice of medicine, continuing in that locality until
about 1911, when he moved to Washington, La., where he has since remained
and devoted his abilities to the requirements of his profession, with
gratifying results.  The doctor is a member of the St. Landry parish and
the Louisiana State Medical societies, and occupies the office of secretary
of the former.  He is affiliated with the Methodist church, and is a member
of the Free and Accepted Masons and the Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks.  In April, 1906, Dr. Holloman was married to Miss Kate Holstien, a
daughter of K. G. and Kate (Donovan) Holstien, of Harrisonburg, both of
whom were born in Louisiana and are now deceased.  The father followed the
life-long vocation of a farmer.  To Dr. and Mrs. Holloman 2 children have
been born, namely:  Sidney Cartwright and  Walter Gibson, both of whom are
now at the parental house.
