at the First Christian Church of Chelsea. Burial followed at the Chelsea 
Cemetery under the direction of the Chelsea Funeral Home. 

Sophia died Monday, Jan. 13, at Claremore Regional Hospital at the age

The daughter of Jacob W. "Bert" and Lulu Grant Tillery Robinson was born 
Nov. 1, 1903, in Callen, Mo. When she was two years old her family came 
to Fairfax, Okla. by railroad. They later moved to Bushyhead in a covered 
wagon. 

In 1923 she graduated from Chelsea High School. 

Sophia married Earl J. Holman in 1927 in Pryor. 

They made their home by the Totem Pole near Foyil. 

They farmed and raised cattle and chickens. 

After their son, Joe, died, they took over his store "Little Joe's." They ran 
the store until Earl died in 1989. 

Sophia attended the Church of Christ. She enjoyed sewing and cooking, and was 
known for her special cornbread dressing. 

Sophia was the last survivor of the original totem pole community.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Earl, and son, Joe.

Survivors include her son, Bobby of Chelsea, nieces: Marge Harbour and Norma 
Robinson, both of Dallas, Texas, and Barbara Thompson of California, and 
nephews, Donald Hendrix of Adair, and Jack Thompson of Broken Arrow.
