Brothers Meet at Fair First Time in 42 Years
Chicago,-For the first time since the elder of the two left his Tipperary (Ireland) home 42 years ago to seek his fortune in America, two brothers met through a World's fair visit in Chicago.
The brothers are John J. Holloway of Lynn, Mass., and Patrick Holloway, fifty-seven, late soldier of fortune, who lives with a sister at 329 South Green Bay road, Highland Park.
Although John Holloway has visited Chicago several times before, always Patrick has been away-with the First Cavalry in China, with the Sixth cavalry in Mexico, with the Rainbow Division in France. But this time when John stepped off the Boston bus, an elderly gentleman said to him:
"Are you John Holloway?"
"Sure! And you're Pat!"
