Biography

Milton was born into a family of farmers. Milton's love was dairy farming. He attended Dowagiac High School. On his first visit to court his childhood friend, Hattie Granger, he gave her a gift of an ink pen which she used to correspond with him. They married in 1907 and lived in Weesaw Township, Berrien County MI where Edna was born. Her record of birth lists Milton as a 'buttermaker'. Milton was awarded a position as Head of Dairying at the Chilocco Indian School in Oklahoma. Etheleen and Anna Dean were born in the home they occupied at Chilocco. When Etheleen was born in 1916 Milton's sister Selena was in attendance and the baby was to be named after her. The Indian girl who worked for the family as part of her studies, Anna Hawkins, pleaded to let her name the baby. Milton and Hattie relented and submitted corrected registration of birth forms to the State of Oklahoma renaming my mother Etheleen Selena. When Anna Dean was born in 1918 Milton chose her name based on an article that appeared several months prior in Hoard's Dairyman Magazine. The article depicted the idyllic dairy farm in Ohio and Milton was enamored with the description, the photographs and the name. Hattie objected to having her daughter named after a dairy farm but after being unable to agree on an alternate name, Milton completed the registration of birth forms and sent them to the state. Thus the middle name, Dean, started its tradition in the Holloway family. Milton was replaced as head dairyman at Chilocco when WW I ended and a qualified Indiana requested the position. The family moved to Columbus, Indiana, where Milton worked at the milk processing plant in town. He died in Hattie's arms from an appendicitis attack.
