Steve!! Rich Eastman here at home. Are you any relation to Donald Hollowell or Roger Wayne Hollowell? I have the complete lineage from the progenitor, William Halloway through Roger of Pleasantville which includes much on Orren Freeman Hollowell, born at Windsor, Maine 15 August, 1845 or 6 and died in Pleasantville, Iowa 17 August 1925, married at Prairie City 9 June 1869, Sarah Adelaide Gerald, born 5 March 1845 at Albion, Maine and died 19 November 1915, daughter of Owen and Elvira Gerald. Sounds like your boy, so let me know and I'll send you the works. Rich Eastman
