We entered a plea for information about the passing of Raleigh Hollingsworth in our June issue, and Capt. Hollingsworth has satisfied all of our wishes. In his letter quoted above, Jesse explains that his father, Daniel Boone Hollingsworth, was twice married. The first wife was Emily Lunsford, who died 22 Oct 1908 in Clay Co., Kentucky. Elbert Hollingsworth was a child of that marriage. Daniel then married Jane Lewis who was the mother of Capt. Jesse C. L. Hollingsworth. Therefore, as Jesse says, Elbert was his half-brother and Raleigh was his half-nephew.
