J. J. Holleman Fatally Wounded
Early Wednesday
A slug from a .22 caliber pistol tore out the life of Jodie J.
Holleman, 59, independent ice route operator, at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday
at his home, 103 South Twelfth St.
Police Patrolmen Clarence Powell and R. E. Steele investigated the
shooting. They found the apparently new revolver and took a long
rambling note to police headquarters. They said they found it on a
cedar chest in the room in which Holleman was fatally shot.
In Bad Health
“I hate to leave you all but haft to go. I cannot stand it no
longer. My health is gone and no way to provide. I am in a rut and
have no way to overcome it. So be good and God bless you all….I have
no one to help me so I give up. I just cannot stand it any longer…”
the note, written on a very small pink memorandum pad read.
Mrs. Holleman and their daughter, Mrs. Truett Tramel, were in the
large rooming house and heard the shot, but thought it was a door
slamming.
Found In Bed Room
Holleman was found in a small bedroom on the west side of the house.
A roomer walked across to an adjoining filling station and reported
the shooting. R. D. (Dick) Parker, owner of the station at West
Collin St. and Twelfth Ave., summoned a Corley ambulance and
notified the police department.
The ambulance rushed Holleman to the Corsicana Hospital and Clinic
only a block south of the shooting scene. He was pronounced dead on
arrival. He had been shot in the head, the bullet entering the right
temple.
Sobbing and almost prostrate, Mrs. Holleman and her daughter sat
outside the emergency room of the hospital. A relative informed them
that the husband and father was dead.
“Why did he do it?” Mrs. Holleman sobbed. “He wasn’t in good health
but we had plenty to live on.”
The Hollemans only recently moved into the big house, owned by Dr.
L. C. Polk.
Mrs. Holleman said her husband had “been in bad health for a year or
two but went right ahead and worked.”
The note was addressed to “Dearest Wife, Babies and Children.:
“Dearest wife; do the best you can about my debts.” He continued.
“You will find all the money I have in there with the half
dollars…..Tell our dear boy to help you with the place and don’t
worry. Let them have the truck and don’t worry…
“God bless you all. You are so sweet. Do not never sell the place,
it might be worth plenty to you or the kids someday, or a place to
live some day. That was my desire to live on it, but health and
trouble has got me…If you don’t want my watch save it for Tommie Joe
for when he gets larger.
“God Bless You All:
“Hoping God will keep and bless you all. I have cried and prayed
that this wouldn’t have to happen, but cannot stand it no
longer—Jodie, By, by.:
He asked that he be buried “by my mother, if possible.”
In a final message he added:
“I went down there to do it, but decided to come back home. It would
put you to too much trouble to come and get me there…..
No inquest was held.
Surviving are his wife, Corsicana; one son, W. G. Holleman,
Ballinger; three daughters, Mrs. Evie Eatham, Big Spring; Mrs. C. C.
Merrell and Mrs. Truett Tramel, both of Corsicana; 18 grandchildren;

a brother, Clint Holleman, Kerens; four sisters, Mrs. E. D.
