The Children of Euhal and Edna Westbrook Holliman


Euhal and Edna Westbrook Holliman were fortunate to have six children, five of whom survive to this day.  

They are:

Melton Terry and Alvin Jerry Holliman, twins (b 1940) - Jerry died of heart disease in his home state of Alaska in 2003. This cute 1941 picture was taken on the Holliman family lawn in Irondale, Alabama.

Ann Holliman Phillips (b 1943) is in the right of the picture below, held by her mother, Edna.  Euhal holds newborn baby Jean Holliman.  Euhal's family lived in Gadsden, Alabama in the 1940s and through the middle of the 1950s.  This picture again seems to have been taken in Irondale in 1944.

Mary Jean Holliman (b 1944) At the 1970 family reunion at E.C. and Mary Daly Herrin's home in Irondale, this picture was taken of Jean, Billy and their mother, Edna. In the far right is Carol Daly, Robert Daly, Jr's wife, holding their son, John Daly.

Tommie Holliman Allen (b 1954), is pictured in November 2010 at the Irondale Cafe with her Uncle Bishop Holliman. Some of the space occupied by the Irondale Cafe is the same location as the Daly Hardware Store from 1944 until its closing in the early 1960s.  The store was owned by brothers Robert, Sr. (Vena's husband) and George Daly.

Billy Holliman (b 1955) - Below is the 50th Anniversary celebration for Edna and Euhal.  Left to right are Tommie, Jean, Ann, Euhal, Edna, Terry, Jerry and Billy Holliman in this 1985 photograph.
