Hadley, B.F. Bowen & Co., Indianapolis, 1914, page 326: JOHN W. HOLLAWAY - The gentleman whose name heads this paragraph is widely known in Hendricks county, being one of the honored citizens of Brown township, where he is living quietly after a strenuous life of activity in connection with agricultural pursuits. His well directed efforts in the practical affairs of life, his capable management of his business interests and his sound judgment, have brought to him prosperity and his life demonstrates what may be accomplished by any man of energy and ambition who is not afraid to work and has the perseverance to continue his labors in the face of any disaster or discouragement that may arise. In all the relations of life, Mr. Hollaway has commanded the confidence and respect of those with whom he has been brought into contact and a biographical history of this locality would be incomplete without a record of his career. John W. Hollaway is a native of this county, having been born on March 24, 1844, in the southwest corner of Brown township, the son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Coole) Hollaway, the former of whom was a native of the state of Virginia, the latter being a Hoosier by birth. Joseph Hollaway, while still a small lad, was brought to the state of Indiana by his parents, where his father, William Hollaway, entered government land near the city of Indianapolis. When a young man, in Virginia, William Hollaway served during the Revolutionary War. When Joseph Hollaway became of age, he came to Hendricks county and entered the land where in later years the subject of this sketch was born. He purchased one hundred and sixty-four acres at that time, giving about one dollar and a half per acre, and in order to have the papers in the transfer properly made out it was necessary for him to go to the then small village of Crawfordsville, a considerable distance, which he covered on foot through what was then almost a wilderness. The land which he then purchased still remains in the Hollaway family, never having been owned under any other name. Joseph Hollaway lived on his newly acquired land for about five years before uniting in marriage with Elizabeth Coole, daughter of Frederick Coole, who was one of the early settlers near Indianapolis. Their entire married life was passed on the one place and there they reared their family of eight children. Joseph Hollaway passed from this life in August, 1895, and his wife lived until in February, 1901. John W. Hollaway lived under the paternal roof until he was thirty years old, when he built his present home, just north of the old homestead and across the public highway. In December, 1873, he was united in marriage with Mary Ann Rice, daughter of Louis and Sophia (Harris) Rice, both of whom were natives of Kentucky. They came from families quite prominent in their respective communities in their native state, both being slave holders and people in good circumstances. The father of Sophia Harris Rice was William Harris, who upon coming to the state of Indiana entered a tract of government land where Clermont, Indiana, now is. He later disposed of that and entered land on which the northwest portion of the town he passed the remainder of his life. To John W. Hollaway and wife were born three children, one of whom is still living. This is their son, Wilbert Forrest, who took as his wife May Offit, daughter of Alexander and May (Kelley) Offit, both natives of the Hoosier state. Wilbert and wife are the parents of four children, Russell, Esther and Byron, and a little daughter, Gladys, who died when ten years of age. One other child of Mr. and Mrs. Hollaway grew to maturity. This was their daughter Lena Leota, who became the wife of Wilbert Canary. She was the mother of one child, Paul Orlopp Canary, who was but fifteen months old when his mother died. He was then taken into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hollaway and is at present attending the Brownsburg high school and is a promising boy in his third year's work. Both the subject of this sketch and his wife are members of the Christian church and are sincerely interested in the work of same. They live beautiful, consistent lives and their home radiates the warmth and cheer in the hearts of its owners. Mr. Hollaway has devoted the energies of his entire life to the vocation of farming and at present owns two hundred and forty acres of land, the majority being located in Brown township, all of which is in an excellent state of cultivation, showing care and close attention to modern methods of agriculture and the proper rotation of crops. Besides his farm, Mr. Hollaway owns property in Brownsburg, and while he has shown business ability of a high order and a proper desire to further his own interests, he has never lost sight of the essential qualities of a well rounded manhood and today is one of the most highly respected and esteemed citizens of his community. His quiet but kindly disposition has won for him friends all over the county, while the well regulated life he has led entitles him to representation in a biographical work of the scope intended in the present one.
