Taken
in Big Spring, Howard Co., TX. It
didn't scan the greatest but it's a photo
that my grandmother, Tennie (Hollis) Horn,
held dear to her heart. She was born
in Big Spring, Howard Co., TX and she loved
showing my dad and I this photo and
talking about "the Hollis homeplace
near Big Spring, TX". Tennie
(Hollis) Horn was born in July 1891 to William
Jefferson and Mary Frances (Penny) Hollis.

John
William "Willie" Hollis came

Jefferson and Mary Frances (Penny)
Hollis. The families then migrated
from Howard to Henderson Co., TX but John
William Hollis brought his own family
back to the Big Spring, Howard Co.,
TX area by May 1909. He settled there
and to this day he has descendants in the
area. He, his wife and various family
members are buried in the Mt. Olive Cemetery.
This
photo was one that he sent to my grandmother
and his sister, Tennie (Hollis) Horn,
who had migrated with their parents
to Oklahoma between 1910-1920.
