Friday, February 15, 2013 My Grandmother's Wall Photographs, Part 7 by Glenn N. Holliman This posting continues to examine the wall collage of my grandmother, Pearl Caine Holliman of Irondale, Alabama. She and her husband, Ulyss S. Holliman, had seven children and nineteen grandchildren. The collage today is held by the first of the cousins born, Mary Daly Herrin. Previous sections of the collage can be seen in earlier posts. 
The numbered pictures may be seen in the next photograph below. 23. Pearl Caine Holliman (1887-1955) with Robert W. Daly, Jr. (b 1943) at her feet accepts the first door to door delivery of U.S. Mail at her home at 2300 N. 3rd Street in Irondale, Alabama. Due to her efforts, the post was delivered to Irondale homes, and one no longer had to cross the dangerous and busy railroad tracks to get to the post office. This picture ran in the Woodlawn, Alabama newspaper in 1944. My grandmother was 57 at the time. 24. Dressed in their Sunday best, Ralph and his brother, Bishop, pose by the Daly house, probably around 1937. I suspect Ralph did not enjoy that suit too long. A growth spurt would soon send him towering over all his siblings to 6’4” or more. 25. Bishop holding a football in the 1920s 26. Virginia Holliman Cornelius and a wagon in the 1920s. 
The following are obscured in the numbered copy, but can be seen more clearly in the next post and of course in the clear photo above. 27. Virginia Holliman Cornelius (1922-2011) clutches her doll. Virginia was the sixth child born to Pearl and Ulyss, and the only daughter born in Irondale. Vena and Loudelle were both natives of Fayette, Alabama, 45 miles to the west near the Mississippi border.

1930. Left to right, Ulyss, Ralph, Pearl, Virginia (eye obscured in picture), Melton in back, Bishop, Vena, Euhal and Loudelle on right. Ulyss moved his family to Irondale from Fayette, Alabama during World War I. He worked until retirement in 1949 for the Birmingham Electric Company, which ran the street cars in the 'Magic City'. His job was to repair the wooden frames and seats of the trolleys. Four years after he retired, the last street car rolled through Birmingham, all replaced by buses. Below, the full collage.
