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

Above is the1973 retirement photograph of Charles Ferrell surrounded by family members. Charles, assisted so wisely by Loudelle, had a distinguished career in the Methodist ministry, serving the largest churches in the North Alabama Conference. For a time he was District Superintendent.  Modestly Charles stands behind Loudelle (flowery dress right between her sister Virginia and Carol Daly).

This will not be easy but let me make a stab at identifying whom I can.  Everyone's help requested.  Okay,  - left to right: Tommie Holliman Allen, her father, Euhal in the suit.  Behind Euhal is Barnes Tatum, and in front of him, Carolyn Ferrell Tatun.  In red is Virginia Holliman Cornelius, Charles Ferrell, Loudelle Holliman Ferrell, Carol Daly, Dr. Bob Daly, Gerry Holliman in the red sweater (I will come back to the children), Bishop Holliman, Vena Holliman Daly Buckheit and Phil in the light blue suit.  Mary Daly Herrin in red with her husband, E.C. Herrin.  The lady in the long blue dress holding the baby --- hmmmm...don't know; John Ferrell's family.  Charles Halford Ferrell in the checkered coat holding his wife.  John Melton Ferrell is next to his brother Charles.  The couple on the far right, must be Ferrells.

As to the four children on the very front, I cannot identify them.  Today they would be in their 40s. I believe John Daly is one of the children. Ouch!

Here are Charles and Loudelle on their 50th anniversary in 1985.
