Ed Rader bought the land on Holloway Mountain sometime after 1915 from
Columbus "Lum" Holloway (1872-1929), the son of George W. Holloway (son of
Robert Holloway) and Mary Collett. His
son John told Lisabeth Holloway in 1978 that Lum Holloway owned a sawmill and
was killed in an accident there [Dec 1929]. Edgar lost the land the
same year in the 1929 crash. John described the land as "twenty-five acres either
side of the river [Little Mulberry Creek] that’s good for cultivation, and about
fifty for pasturage; the rest was mountain land” [Holloway, Lisabeth M., her
journal]. |
