Hi, I am searching for anyone descended from any of the Holliday family of Fountain Co.
Indiana. And and anyone knowing of any Indiana Tolivers with a daughter named Ella born
about 1860. I am the grandaughter of Ethel Clara Holliday. Her parents were Ambrose S.
Holliday Jr. and Ella Toliver. She had an older sister and brother. Inez was the given
name of the sister and Earl was the name of the brother. Ella died after the birth of
Ethel, so their maiden schoolteacher aunt Sarah, or Hannah riased them.. I think it was
Hannah because I have found that Sarah seems to have married a Granville Warren. The
parents of Ambrose S. Holliday were Ambrose S. Holliday Sr. and Abigail Kies. I know that
Earl, my grandmothers brother died childless, as I have many letters from his wife my
grand Aunt Vesta Holliday, telling of the family. All their children died at birth from
what sounds like an Rh factor problem. But I know that Inez married and had several
children. who wou!
ld be my cousns and so on. Ambrose Holliday Jr. remarried 2 times. first to Maggie
Renick of Fountain co. and they had one daughter, Jennie who married a Tom Walker and they
too were childless. Ambrose Holliday Jr's 3rd marriage was to a Lulu Darnel, in
Arkansas where he moved to for some reason. I would like to find descendents of Inez
Holliday Shepherd and of Lulu Darnel Holliday. But I am especially interested in the
descendents of Inez right now as they stayed in the FOuntain Co. Indiana area.
