Ulyss and Pearl Caine Holliman and their Descendants

by Glenn N. Holliman

More on Loudelle Holliman Ferrell, (1914 - 1998)

the Fourth Child of Ulyss and Pearl Holliman

By 1937, Charles Halford Ferrell had entered the family.  The stroller was typical of the time - all metal with hard rubber wheels.  Plastic had not yet become a developed product in America. Charles is in fashion for the times - white shoes.

A year later, Carolyn Ferrell Tatum entered this life.  Here she is carried as a baby by her grandmother, Pearl Holliman.  The Robert Daly, Sr. house is in the background.  Pearl was 51 years old in 1938.

This is a 1953 school photo of John Melton Ferrell, born 1942.  He was the last of three children by Charles and Loudelle.
