I Loved my cousin Terry Holmes. My mother, Doris Holmes Todd, was his Father's sister. They were from a family of four kids: Doris Holmes Todd, Roberta Holmes Watson, Lois Holmes Corser, and Terry's father Harold. Issac Roy Holmes and Susan Irvin Holmes his wife. Their father ran logging camps for the railroads. After his beloved wife died (Spanish Flu), Issac sent his 3 daughters to live with other families, a logging camp was a deadly place for children. I believe Harold stayed with his dad and ended up, as an adult, working for the railroad. Pioneer families with a love of books. Issac had the first Encyclopedia in that part of Oregon, and he would do public reading, and neighbors would arrive to listen. His Auntie Lois had a degree in Mathematics. Terry was from people of books, faith, hard work, laughter, good food and love. I miss him, I will always remember his smile. It could light up a room. God bless You Terry, Love Julie.
