We continue our tour of Pearl Caine Holliman's photographic collage which now hangs on the kitchen wall of Mary and E.C. Herrin in Irondale, Alabama. E.C.'s parents, Elliot Clayton Sr. and Pyretta Walker Herrin are bottom left and his aunt and uncle, Ludi and George Herrin bottom right under the collage. In the center are portraits of Mary's parents, Robert and Vena Holliman Daly.
Below, the next section of the collage.
30. Euhal and the family dog, Sport.
31. Ralph, meticulous as always, combs his hair for the photographer.
32. A studious looking Euhal presents a handsome portrait in this picture.
33. Melton was nicknamed ‘Rosie’ by his classmates while in high school. He graduated in 1927, and went to work in his Uncle Floyd Caine’s drug store. There he mastered the pharmaceutical trade and stayed in it all his life. Floyd (1883 – 1966) as Lula Hocutt Caine’s son.
34.Melton Holliman in sporty dress in the 1920s.
35. Vena Holliman Daly and her daughter, Mary Daly Herrin, on the Daly-Holliman lawn.
36. Ulyss and Pearl Caine Holliman on the lawn with grandson Glenn N. Holliman, Bishop’s Son.
37. Far right stands Pearl Caine Holliman who in the 1940s entertained in Irondale her Sunday School class for which she was a teacher. Ulyss and Pearl were very active in the Gospel Tabernacle Church of The Rev. Glenn Tingly of Birmingham. Tingly was controversial, and the first radio preacher in the city from the early 1930s.
While he preached against vice and immorality, Tingly's emotional, end of time theology was not shared by the entire family. The Ferrells in particular, moderate Methodists, were in disagreement with Loudelle’s parents and their financial support of the Tabernacle. Robert Daly, Sr. wrote scathingly during World War II how this ministry was taking resources from Ulyss and Pearl that could have been better used supporting Lula Caine, Pearl’s mother, who lived on a small rail road widow’s pension and who took in boarders to make end's meet.
38. Andrew ‘Eck’ Holliman was one of the six brothers of John Thomas Holliman, and the first to die (1882-1926). Interesting he is the only brother of Ulyss on the picture board. He succumbed to a heart attack and is buried in Anniston, Alabama where he worked for the railroad.
39. Jerry and Terry Holliman.
40. Melton and Ida Hughes Holliman (1905-1995).
