This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Anderson, Little, Neely, Weatherford Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZkB.2ACI/3014.1.1.1 Message Board Post: No, I did not find Ella ever with the Neely's that I can think of right now because in 1870 she was not born yet and I didn't find her brother in the 1870 census either. He would have been born that year in Feb. I don't know if the Anderson's were living in that same place when the kids were born. My Ellla thinks that they came to America from Sweden or somewhere else when she was little but she does not remember it. Her brother, Mac Anderson said that he remembered being on a big ship and getting sea sick but later on his family never heard him say that and he always just said he was born in Texas. I think that the Weatherfords knew what happened to the kids parents and I think that later on, Mac may have found out and was so ashamed of it that he didn't want to have it known but then he may have just given up and maybe he didn't really know either. I know that Ella didn't know what happened to her parents. Ella wasn't with the Neely's on the 1880 census but she would have ! been with them in 1890 but of course there is not 1890 census now. I would have loved to have seen what was said on that one about where she was born, etc. Then she married her husband, Judge Carson Little in 1893 so from the 1900 census on, she was already married and there are no clues as to who her parents may have been. Her death certificate says that her parents were unknown and that she was born in Sweden. Her husband is the one who gave the information on it. All of her kids believed that she was full blood Swedish but I do not know that for sure at all. I've been looking for answers to this mystery for about 30 years now. I just keep on trying to find out more things as I think of somewhere else to look and the DNA seemed like a good way to maybe find some answers. Thanks for your interest, Jane

Herman Holloway dies Herman C. Holloway, a retired Dallas police lieutenant who established the department's special operations detail, died Tuesday morning at Denton Community Hospital after a brief illness. He was 78. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Macon Douglas Funeral Home in Dallas. Burial will follow at Long Creek Cemetery in Sunnyvale. Mr. Holloway, a native of Knoxville, Tenn., moved to Dallas as a child. He attended public schools in Dallas and worked at a Mobil gas station that his father owned. He joined the Dallas Police Department in March 1936. Mr. Holloway was a patrol officer for several years before being promoted to the homicide division. In March 1957, he was promoted to lieutenant; in 1965, he established the special enforcement detail. Three years later, part of the special enforcement detail became the department's tactical unit, known to officers as "Holloway's Raiders.' "The crime rate was giving us a problem, and we needed a detail to work the high-crime areas,' said Dallas police Sgt. Tom Wafer, who worked with Mr. Holloway for nine years. "The unit did crowd control, patrolled high crime neighborhoods and did shotgun stakeouts at 7-Eleven stores to help cut the crime rate.' Sgt. Wafer, who now works in the narcotics division, said the special operations detail that Mr. Holloway formed was the forerunner of the special operations division, which was expanded in 1968. "The detail was extremely effective,' Sgt. Wafer said. "Its main objective was to make felony arrests.' Holloway's Raiders were made up of two sergeants and about 16 to 20 patrol officers. The special operations division has grown over the years. It now includes a number of units, including canine and explosives. The division is one of the department's biggest and is highly regarded across the United States. "They decided special operations was a budding project that would work, so they increased the manpower a few years after it began,' Sgt. Wafer said. Mr. Holloway retired from the department in 1977. "He was great,' Sgt. Wafer said. "I'm really going to miss him, and I missed him when he left the department.' Sgt. Wafter said Mr. Holloway had "a chest full of medals,' including the department's Medal of Valor. Mr. Holloway earned the medal after being injured in a shooting in Fort Worth during a felony arrest. A Fort Worth officer was killed in incident. "You could never get him to talk about the awards he won,' Sgt. Wafer said. "I only know about the Medal of Valor through his friends and other members of the department. "He was one of those guys that you didn't disobey his orders. If he told you to jump off a building, you'd do it and know it was right.' Mr. Holloway is survived by two daughters, Holly Goin of Justin and Carol Humphrey of Richardson; three brothers, James Holloway, Howard Holloway and Bob Holloway, all of Dallas; a sister, Evelyn Dorris of Mesquite; three grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. Memorials may be made to the Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children.
