Photographs of Family and Friends....
The January 2013 session of the Irondale Historical Society turned into a mini-family reunion for the Holliman family. Below left to right both rows are: Glenn N. Holliman, Tommie Holliman Allen, Walley Allen, Jean Holliman, E.C. Herrin, Clayton Herrin, Elliot Herrin, Glenda Youngblood Norris (grand daughter of Cecil Rhodes Holliman), Mary Daly Herrin, Nancy and Charles Ferrell, Bishop Holliman, David Herrin and Brian Allen.
Below Bishop Holliman hugs Jean Bunt Trammel of Irondale, Alabama. The Trammel's were neighbors of Bishop's when growing up in the 1930s on 3rd Avenue North.
Below, Walley and Tommie Holliman Allen, their son Brian and Jean Holliman. Tommie and Jean are the daughters of Euhal and Edna Westbrook Holliman who raised their family at 2300 3rd Avenue North, Irondale from 1956 to Edna's passing in 1992.
Below - "Her name is Daly Katherine Herrin. She was born December 28. 2012. We are calling her Daly." - reports the proud father, David Herrin standing in the blue shirt. Holding the new grand daughter is Mary Daly Herrin. Tommie and Walley Allen are in the back ground.
Mary is the daughter of Robert W. and Vena Holliman Daly. Mary grew up next door to the Holliman house at 2300 3rd Avenue North. She and E.C. Herrin, a semi-retired lawyer, married in 1951 and raised their family of four children - Clayton, Linda, David and Suzanne - in Irondale. David and Clayton continue to make their homes in Irondale.

Since early 2010, I have been publishing research and stories on the broad spectrum of Holliman (Holyman) family history at http://hollimanfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/ . For stories on my more immediate family since the early 20th Century, I have been posting articles since early 2011 at http://ulyssholliman.blogspot.com/ .
Let's save the past for the future! If you have photographs, letters, memorabilia or research you wish to share, please contact me directly at glennhistory@gmail.com. Several of us have an on-going program of scanning and preserving Holyman and related family records. Don't just let family's genealogical work or photographs languish unread and deteriorating in an attic. Write us please and tell us of your items. Thanks to the Internet, we are able to scan, upload to the web (with your permission) and return the materials to you. - GNH
