Virginia Ruth Holliman Cornelius, 1922
the Sixth Child of Ulyss and Pearl Caine Holliman
Below is a charming 1959 Christmas card of Carol and Susan Cornelius at their home in Homewood, Alabama. Both girls now live in Texas with their own families and grandchildren.
On Virginia's 80th birthday in 2002, her daughters prepared a lovely multi-page biography of their Mother. I can't improve on it, so I reproduce it here with their permission. Just click on the pages and it will enlarge for reading purposes.
Here is a photo from the 2002 birthday party when this biography was presented. Left to right, Motie Holliman, who has passed away, Ralph Holliman, Virginia, Bishop Holliman and Bishop's wife, Ellen Cox Holliman. Ralph is in the insert picture in the biography above.
More of her printed biography in the next post....
