He was at Haines' Bluff in December, 1862, and was at the taking of Arkansas Post, and also in the campaign culminating in the surrender of Vicksburg. He was in the second campaign against Jackson, Mississippi, this ending his active service. At this time he received a furlough on account of sickness and returned to his home. He was discharged in March, 1865, and received a pension. After the close of the war Mr. Hollingsworth moved to Ringgold County, where he has since made his home, and was owner of a fine farm of 120 acres of choice land, where he maked his home.
