He remained with his parents until 1848, when he was married to Rebecca Rice, a native of Indiana, and settled in Monroe, where he opened a shop and worked at his trade three years.  He then removed to Monticello and engaged in the same business, which he continued until 1878.  In that year he sold out, and bought a farm on section 35, of the town of Washington.  He has built a shop upon his farm and carries on blacksmithing in connection with farming.  His first wife died ten months after marriage.  He was again married to Emiline Rice, a sister of his former wife, who died eleven years later.  His third wife was Ann Gates, who lived but two and a half years after marriage. He was afterwards married to Harriet N. Jones.  The second Mrs. Holloway left two children--Jane and Thomas.  The present Mrs. Holloway has one child--Ara C.
