E.K. Holloman

They buried E.K. Holloman the other afternoon. He was 81 years old,
much to my surprise. His carriage always was so happy and bouyant
I had thought him in his early 70s.

And I would have thought him younger had I not known that he was
a veteran of World War I.

Of late years illness had prevented him from getting around much.
You saw him on infrequent visits to the Elks Club.

Holloman was of a band of World War I "buddies" who helped make
the Goldsboro we know today. He was a great crony of the late Bob
Stevens and Col. Zeno G. Hollowell, names whose fame is well 
remembered.

As a member of the Boards of Aldermen, Holloman was a progressive
who joined with other progressives to lay the foundations for growth
and progress. And he was such a friendly and gentle soul. I never
heard him raise his voice in anger or use profanity or tell obscene
stories.

Sleep on and take your rest.
