James Monroe Hollowell was born in old Everittsville, four miles south of 
Goldsboro, on March 8, 1840. He died in Goldsboro, June 18, 1912, at his home on 
E. Holly Street. He was married to Martha J. Outlaw on August 4, 1861. They had 
no children. 

A nephew, J. H. Manley, fell heir to most of his uncle's personal properties, 
especially his writings and that consisted of some early recollections of Wayne 
County and a book of poems which was Mr. Hollowell's first love.

Back in 1844, he and his brother, W. G. Hollowell, published the "Goldsboro 
Bulletin", a weekly newspaper.

He entered the Confederate Army as a volunteer and was a member of Company F, 
10th NC Artillery.

Quoting from Col. Joe Robinson's editorial at the death of Mr. Hollowell: "Mr. 
Hollowell was a quiet, peaceable, law-abiding citizen. He was good natured, 
always cheerful, kind-hearted and ever ready to sacrifice his time and energy to 
accommodate a friend or to lend a helping hand to those in need of his services."
