Homer Bishop Holliman, 1919
the Fifth Child of Ulyss and Pearl Caine Holliman
The automobile gave unpresidented freedom to the generation that came of age in the 1930s. Bishop was able to travel and see parts of America that his parents could have only dreamed about. Below Bishop on the right, in 1939 traveled north to Canada and New York City to see the World's Fair. One of his Irondale friends, is on the left.
Below, Vena (far left) and Robert Daly, 3rd from left, provided transportaton for Virginia Holliman Cornelius (2nd from left) and Bishop to various state parks in Alabama during the late 1930s.
At home, Virginia Holliman Cornelius (3rd from left) and her brother, Bishop, far right, enjoyed friendships with fellow Irondale Methodist Church members. The automobile culture extended the suburbs far beyond Irondale. One new suburb was Trussville, Alabama, a community to which Bishop would move his new family in 1950.
