Eula Mae HOLDER was the 3rd child of Alma Josephine JACKSON and James Solomon HOLDER the 10th of December 1900. Locust Grove, Henry County, GA was where her family resided and she was born.
On the 2nd of Sept 1917 she married Max Augustus LINN in Griffin, Spalding County, GA.
She and Max had 4 children together; 2 that grew to adulthood and 2 that died as babies.
Eula Mae worked at a dress making factory in the finishing department. She would add belts and sashes to finished dresses among other things.
She was an avid seamstress at home making her own clothes as well as dresses for her sister Mamie, quilts, and doll clothes for her grandchildren. If she wasn’t sewing she was crocheting. She could crochet anything. She had the ability to look at a finished crocheted article and duplicate it. Some items she crocheted were bedspreads, turtle bags to cover Ivory soap bars, and lots of laced edges on women’s dime store handkerchiefs.
Reading was a great hobby of hers with romance novels being the genre of choice. She had a jewelry box of costume jewelry brooches (as seen in the picture) and on a shallow, little shelf were displayed her collection of miniature ceramic pitchers.
She and her son bought a victorian house in the Little Five Points area of Atlanta in the 40″s – 50’s and lived in the upper apartment until the last few years of her full life.
She died at home in Covington GA, 1993.
