Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Ernestine King Holeman was married to Cloyce T. Holeman. They had 2 children, Ella LaWayne Holeman Boney and Jimmy Cloyce Holeman. They both were excellent cooks and every year up to 1999 they entertained their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren for Thanksgiving and Christmas and any other weekend the family could gather at their house. They would never allow anyone to contribute by bringing a dish. They were in their mid-to-late eighties. Their food was amazing and prepared with love.
