Halloway, residing on section 10, Liberty Township, was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, March 23, 1815, his parents, Isaac and Catharine (Percel) Halloway, being natives of New Jersey. His maternal grandfather with his two sons, John and James, served as soldiers in the Revolutionary war. The parents of our subject were married in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and were among the first ten families who settled in Mercer County, living there till their death, the father at the age of seventy-one years, and the mother several years earlier. James P. Holloway was brought up on a farm, and in his youth received a good education. He had determined to have a college education, but circumstances compelled him to change his plans before he had completed his college course, when he engaged in teaching school, following that profession for several years with marked success. March 21, 1837 he united in marriage to Mary Jane Barnes, born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, April 1, 1818, and of the eleven children born to this union nine grew to maturity, Mrs. Martha Ann Burnes, of Wapello County; John G. of Liberty Township, Melissa, wife of J.

He was wounded in the right hip at Pittsburgh Landing, and later was taken with typhoid fever and confined in the hospital at Keokuk. He rejoined his regiment at Vicksburg after the surrender of that city, and was in the campaign against Johnston's army. He suffered from sun stroke in July, 1864, and the following November received an honorable discharge, and is now residing on section 10, in Liberty Township. He was married September 8, 1863 to Lida Seeker, while on detached duty at Keokuk. Six children were born to this union, of whom five still survive, Mrs. Cetta Trumbo, Bertie L., Jessie E., Mary J., and Willie. A son James, is deceased. For his service to his country John G. Halloway receives a pension. He was bereaved by the death of his wife, August 25, 1880. James P. Halloway, the subject of this sketch, came West with his family in October, 1846, and made his home in Rock Island, Illinois, remaining in that city till the spring of 1848 when he purchased ten acres of land ten miles from the city, located on Rock River, where he began mining coal. I(n) 1855 he was engaged as superintendent of the Davenport Coal Company on Green River, in Henry County, Illinois. He came to Iowa in the spring of 1857, living in Wapello County till the following fall, when he engaged in the coal business at Ottumwa. January 1, 1858 he bought 160 acres of land located five miles west of the city, where he operated a coal mine until 1864, and in the fall of that year, purchased hotel property in Ottumwa, and for a short time carried on the hotel. He then engaged in farming in connection with mining coal. In 1875 he disposed of his property in Wapello County, coming to Clarke County, where he bought a farm of 120 acres on section 10, Liberty Township, which he still owns and occupies. Mr. Halloway in his twentieth year united with the Presbyterian Church, and for thirty years he was an elder in that denomination. After coming to Clarke County, there being no Presbyterian organization in his vicinity, he united with the Methodist Church, and later became licensed to preach in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has since devoted his life to good work, laboring early and late for the Master in Rock Island, Wapello and Clarke counties.
