     THOMAS HOLLOWAY.   Numbered among the representative
agriculturists of Graves county is Thomas Holloway, who is a
representative of one of the old and honored pioneer families of the
Bluegrass state, for here his maternal grandfather, John Pinckley,
was born in Boone county.  He was born in Carroll county, Tennessee,
on the 28th of May, 1848, and is a son of John C. and Sevilla
(Pinckley) Holloway, the former of whom was born in Ohio and the
latter in Carroll county, Tennessee.  On the paternal side he is of
Irish descent.  The children born to John C. and Sevilla Holloway
were as follows: Martha J., deceased; one who died in infancy;
Thomas A.; Nancy C., deceased; and another who died in infancy.
     Thomas A. Holloway was taken by his parents from Tennessee to
Arkansas when two and a half years of age, remaining in the last
named commonwealth until he was nine years of age.  He then returned
to his native state of Tennessee, where he continued to make his
home until the outbreak of the Civil war, coming thence to Kentucky. 
In June, 1863, he enlisted for service in the Federal army, in which
he served continuously until February, 1865.  He was under General
Grant in the west, and participated in the battles of Beaver Dam,
Johnsonville and was in the reserve at Nashville.  On coming to this
state, Mr. Holloway took up his abode in Fulton county, but later
removed to Hickman county, and in 1898 located near the village of
Sedalia in Graves county.  Throughout his entire business career he
has followed agricultural pursuits, and he is now the owner of a
fine farm of two hundred acres, all of which is well improved, and
he is recognized as a leader among men in his line in the county. 
In politics he is a Republican, and fraternally is a Mason in good
standing.  His religious affiliations are with the Christian church.
     In 1872 Mr. Holloway was united in marriage to Miss Mary A.
Milam, who was born in Carroll county, Tennessee, and was there
educated.  Ten children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Holloway,
namely: Sevilla and Tabitha, both deceased, Ida R., Willie J., one
who died in infancy, Sidney C., Lizzie B., Charles E., Ova and
Herbert M.  Mr. Holloway is highly esteemed by all who know him, and
his success has been gained through untiring efforts, good
management and strict economy.
