Harry Samuel Holloway was born 30 Nov 1886 in Deepwater, MO, to J.B. Holloway.
He was a bookkeeper for a bank, a claim Agent for the railroad. He lived in New Mexico, Texas. He had a wife named Ambrosia, nickname Brosia. (My 2nd daughter's name is also Ambrosia).
I found a lot of newspaper articles for him:
1908
1910

1913
I found his WWI Draft Card which proved his full name as his criminal records only had his name as H.S. Holloway.
By this time he was out of prison and living in El Paso, TX with his wife Ambrosia Everage.
After this there was a 1930 census with him his wife and a step son all living in El Paso, TX. Harry would die 6 years later.
His wife had a few marriages Her first husband was Mr. Grigsby and their son was Sidney Grisby, then after Harry died she married William Rolling Hawk, She died El Paso, TX on 12 Dec 1957.

What a guy, he put his hands in everything, even staging a robbery. If you didn't notice that his prison record states his legs were crimped. But his mind was always thinking of how can I make money. I am sure he had something to do with the fire in the article for 1910.
He also filed bankruptcy in 1920
