THE HOLLIDAY FAMILY CEMETERY

South of Sulligent, off of Highway 17 and Moscow Road, you will find one of several HOLLIDAY FAMILY CEMETERIES located in Lamar County, Alabama. This cemetery can be found on the land that was settled and farmed by Revolutionary War Patriot Daniel William Holliday who, along with his son and members of the family had emigrated from South Carolina to this part of The Alabama Territory.

These Hollidays eventually acquired over 600 acres of land and made a good life for themselves that would last through several generations. Buried in this cemetery are a number of descendants of Daniel Holliday, most notably Darling Hollis Holliday and his wife Sarah Loretta Thomas Holliday, who raised 10 children on this land, many of whom went on to build their own homes and families, living and farming on the family land.

A number of years ago, the children of these 10 siblings came together and established a fund to ensure that the family cemetery would be maintained and cared for over many years to come. The task of supporting and managing this important task has now fallen to the descendants in the “Baby Boomer” generation - the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the 10 siblings! We have a very reliable man who faithfully cares for this cemetery and we, of course, pay him to do so!

I think it goes without saying that we must continually contribute to this fund in order to assure that we will have the funds going forward to continue to manage and care for this important legacy for our Holliday family.
