2278. Henry Harrison (Harry) Hollingsworth
Actor, Stage, Screen, Radio and father to our own late but not forgotten Harry Hollingsworth author of the Hollingsworth Register.
She was last known to be alive in 1945.
On Saturday, April 7, 1990, we finally sat down and read the other notices! There under BIRMINGHAM DEBUTANTES on the next page is a notice of the Grayce Scott Stock Company, then playing at the Bijou in Birmingham, Alabama. "...the work of Miss Scott, MISS NAN CRAWFORD, ... and several others is of the highest order."
There was Harry's wife-to-be mentioned 4 inches below left of her own husband- to-be's picture and notice, a full 2 years before they ever met! And had your myopic, neanderthalic editor not missed her notice, he could have showed it to her and seen her no doubt expression of total awe, and heard her speak of the "omen" there presented.
Nan often told of how she had a dream she would meet the man she was to marry with his throat wrapped up on a ship. In the summer of 1917 she boarded the ferry out of New York City with a new company of actors. As she was led over to meet the leading man, Harry Hollingsworth, she saw his throat bandaged (from a tonsillectomy) and the rest is history.
On Jan 16, 1979, Harry Hollingsworth Editor of HR wrote to Clarence Hollingsworth in Edmonton, Canada.
"Mother (Nancy St. Clare Crawford Hollingsworth) died on 4 July 1975 aged 82 years and 8 months. I really miss her after living in the same house with her for forty-five years, as you can imagine."Her grandparents were all of foreign birth, 3 Irish, one Scottish.
2638. Henry"Harry" (Ed. of HR) Albert Hollingsworth
Harry spent a lifetime researching Hollingsworth family history. He published a quarterly newsletter in reference to not only his own County Wexford family ties but those of Henry Hollingsworth and his son Valentine Hollingsworth Sr. the grand daddy of most of the United States Hollingsworth. He started his publication of the journal in the mid 60s and it continued until his death in the early 90s. Harry never married. After his father and mother’s deaths he continue to live in the family home. Unfortunately Harry didn’t live long enough to realize that the Armagh Hollingsworths and the Wexford Hollingsworth were the same family. He suspected they were related but during his lifetime was not able to prove it. He never was able to visit Ireland, the land of his forefathers, too bad, he would have loved the land of his forefathers. It is not known what happen to the enormous stash of family history records, hopefully these records manage to find there way into capable hands.

Mike passed awy while his family was at mass with leukemia in the prime of life. He was a professional baseball player when young,served in the US Navey during the first World War, and later was a printer.
2282. Fenelon Anthony Hollingsworth
Fenelon earned the nickname "string" while playing baseball on account of his lankiness. He stands over six feet tall and his position as a pitcher on several teams made the name stick. Technically he was described as a hard thrower. He served in the U.S. Navy during the First World War.

2300. Richard Wallace
Olive Joy Hollingsworth married Franklin P. Wallace June 10, 1910 and they had 5 children: 4 boys - Daniel, Stanley, John and my father Richard; 1 girl - stillborn or died shortly after birth. All 4 brothers are now deceased, my dad being the last of them on March 7, 2003. They all served in WWII but my dad was the only one of them that made a career of the Army. (Barbara Wallace Garrett)
2649. Barbara Wallace
As I said, the one pic you may use, of just the part of the mural that shows dad. My mom's name is Florence Kamenick Wallace. My sister, Kathy Wallace Heidtke, and my brother, Wayne Wallace, all of Wisconsin. Kathy lives near Chippewa Falls and Mom and Wayne are in Ashland. Me, I'm in SW Virginia about 60 miles from Roanoke and 20 minutes from Mt. Airy, NC. I have 6 children - 1 boy and 5 girls, one lives in Wi. and the rest are within 60 miles or so of me. Oh, my name might be needed too, huh? Barbara Wallace Jarrett. My older sister has 2 boys, both adults. My younger brother also has two boys, the oldest in high school and the younger in about 6th grade. I have pictures somewhere on one of our servers or someplace that are family groups of myself and my kids. I'll have to find some to send to you.
Oddly enough, I'm adopted. That was rather cool finding out Olive had been adopted as well. My A-brother and I were both born in Germany. I also have a half brother. We have the same mother.Since beginning these searches I've realized how important it is to the future generations coming after us to leave a trail. And not just general information but a bit more involved like you trying to find out about the Brown children. The information has to be somewhere, as I demonstrated with finding *something* at ancestory.com. But there are few clues to go on. And me trying to find information about Olives birth family. Hit a brick wall there so far. I just have to keep looking.

2313. Lamont Marvin (Monty)
When Lamont's father Henry died in 1905 and mother Elizabeth passed away in 1915, her sister Mary Ellen became the guardian of Lamont and raised him. It was noted in family correspondence that Mary Ellen and her husband Thomas Wynn took Lamont as a child to visit relatives in New Jersey and Penna. Mary Ellen and Thomas Wynn were childless so I am sure the present of Lamont filled a void left by not have any children of their own.
Monty was known to have served in the First World War and volunteered and did serve in the Second World War. He obtained the rank of Sergeant and his son Lee made Corporal at one point. Lee's grave stone in Arlington National Cemetery shows him as a Private. Lee was known to be a rough and tough guy, so some time before being discharged from the Marines, he had to have been busted down to Private.
Lee's mother was descended from George Washington's brother Augustine.
