Holloway, Thomas W
merchant, farmer, was born March 28, 1829, near Newberry C. H., S. C. In 1846 he went to Columpia, the capital of his state; and subsequently was placed in charge of the freight department of the Columbia and Greenville railroad.
The road being continued to Newberry, he was transferred to that place as agent. In 1852 he was elected cashier of the Bank of Newberry; and three years later engaged in merchandising and farming. Since 1858 he has been the secretary of the State Agricultural and Mechanical society of South Carolina, and still fills that office in Pomaria. He was prominent in the affairs of the state grange, and was its secretary until that order was superseded by the alliance. Colonel Holloway has received the merited distinction of being the most progressive and best qualified secretary of any of the states.
