HOLTON, REED -
I am trying to locate information on the family of my wife for daughter and grandchildren; my
wife was born January 01, 1956 in Richmond, Virginia. She was suppose to be the first New Years
Baby that year, but we cannot find anything about that. Her mother is listed as Joe Ann Maryland
Reed Holton and father was Hobart Jordan Holton (deceased) her birth
certificate also indicates there are two siblings living from prior births. According to a news
article we have, supposedly dated September 18, 1955 which is handwritten on the article, Hobart
Jordan Holton, died at the age of 26 in September of 1955 in Portsmouth in an auto
accident-- His brother James was in the vehicle with him - we cannot find an obituary - would
have anything on this family, Besides his brother he was also survived by his father Ralph
Holton, the body of Hobart Jordan Holton according to the news article was sent
back to Monte Vista cemetery, near Tazewell. I have a pdf of the two newspaper clippings.

purchased a historic home near the site of the original Lilly Reunion Grounds. I am
interested in historical facts, as well as photographs of the early Lilly Reunions
as well as information re any historic properties, especially the Leafie Lilly
Harvey house (pre- 1900). I purchased this small Victorian house in August and it is being
completely restored. Any information or access to photographs would be greatly appreciate.
