Hollis C. Harrell, 95, died Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2008, at his home in Hazlehurst, Miss. Visitation at Stringer Family Funeral Home in Hazlehurst was held Saturday, Nov. 29, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The funeral service was conducted at First Baptist Church of Hazlehurst on Sunday, Nov. 30, at 2 p.m., with internment in Hazlehurst Cemetery. Hollis Benjamin Claiborne Harrell was born Jan. 4, 1913, in Bay St. Louis, Miss. He was a graduate of Kentwood High School in Kentwood and attended LSU in Baton Rouge as a pre-med student. He then attended LSU Medical School in New Orleans and became a casualty of Gov. Huey P. Long. On Dec. 29, 1934, he married Emily Viola Stringfield and they resided in Kentwood. While in Kentwood they had two sons, John Bruce Harrell, in February 1936, and William C. "Bill" Harrell, in November 1937. In 1938, Claiborne Harrell Sr. purchased timber and a mill to manufacture pine lumber. Hollis Harrell was sent to Hazlehurst to manage the new mill for his father. Shortly after the beginning of World War II, the mill began producing wood boxes for ammunition. He remained in business in Hazlehurst for 60 years, changing from manufacturing pine lumber and oak flooring to selling steel, wire and nails. The new business of steel, wire and nails began from his basement with deliveries made in a pickup and later to large transport trucks. It had always been a love of Mr. Harrell's and a family tradition to eat in New Orleans at Galatoire's. Starting back in 1932, when his father took him for his first business lunch at Galatoire's with the heads of the lumber businesses in New Orleans. The heads were at odds with each other in business and the lunch meeting at Galatoire's brought them together, resulting in an improved business relationship. Mr. Harrell continued the tradition by taking his children, grandchildren down to the great- grandchildren to Galatoire's. Beignets at Cafˇ du Monde and sliding down raw oysters at Acme Oyster Bar were on the list of favorites following the meal at Galatoire's. Mr. Harrell had several principles of life he stood by: his love for God, family, friends and his endless zest for life and practicality. He accomplished this zest and practicality by lifting 50-pound boxes of nails and riding his stationary bike five miles a day. We, the grandchildren, asked, "Pawpaw why don't you buy 50-pound weights?" He answered, "Why buy weights when you can lift 50-pound boxes of nails in the comfort of your own home?" He was a longstanding member of the First Baptist Church of Hazlehurst, where he served as a deacon, Sunday school teacher and choir member. He was also a Mason and Shriner for many years. He was a loving husband and father and will be greatly missed, not only for his giving spirit and loving heart, but also for his colorful storytelling. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Claiborne Harrell Sr.; brother, Claiborne Harrell Jr.; sisters, Lilly Mae McGlathery and Bonnie Jean Hove; wife, Emily Viola Stringfield Harrell; and son, John Bruce Harrell. He is survived by a son, William C. "Bill" Harrell and wife Dodie; granddaughters, Bonnie Jean Harrell, of Brandon, Miss., Emily Elizabeth "Beth," Jordan and husband Ed, of Carter, Miss., and Jennifer Ann Cora and husband Chris, of Byram, Miss.; grandson, William Claiborne Harrell II and wife Wendy, of Hazlehurst; seven great-grandchildren, Georgia and Johnna Jordan, Anna Katherine and Emily Anne Harrell, and Morgan, Lexi and Paxton Cora; and a brother, James Edward Harrell, of Kentwood. *************************************************************************** Obituary published in The Advocate (Baton Rouge): 7/4/2009 HARRELL, JAMES EDWARD A resident of Kentwood and a native of Poplarville, Miss., he died at 5:20 p.m. Thursday, July 2, 2009, at Kentwood Manor Nursing Home in Kentwood.
