Let us raise a toast and a prayer for parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents this Holy Season. This picture was taken in 1950, 64 years ago, at 2300 3rd Avenue North, Irondale, Alabama in the home of Ulyss and Pearl Caine Holliman. This picture is from Charles H. Ferrell, first born of The Rev. Charles T. and Loudelle Holliman Ferrell and the second born grandson of Ulyss and Pearl.
Ralph and Bishop, ages 90 and 95, are still with us, but we have lost Vena Holliman Daly (1909-1990), Virginia Holliman Cornelius (1922-2011), Ulyss (1884-1965), Pearl (1887-1955) and Loudelle (1916-1998). The back row right are Melton (1908-1958) and Euhal (1912-1989).
We salute them all and give thanks for the gift of life they have handed off to new generations. Note behind Ralph's head is a picture of Virginia, now in the procession of one of her daughters, Susan, with an insert picture of Walter Cornelius in his World War II uniform. - GNH, son of Bishop
