Frank Wenger Holliday Memorial, Cheyenne Wyoming.
This is an unusual private memorial on a small, traffic island, park in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I had thought it might be a war memorial, but it is instead a memorial to the thirteen year old son, Frank, of Cal and Rudolphia Holliday. Cal Holliday was a Cheyenne businessman and mayor in the city's early days. What happened to the Holliday's young son I do not know.
This unusual memorial is just off of the downtown business district of Cheyenne in its historic district. This post is clearly off topic.
Curious indeed. Perhaps it was a traffic accident at this location?
ReplyDeleteA post on the Early History of Wyoming Facebook site lead to a reply that indicated that Frank Holliday died by way of an appendectomy. It must have been hard indeed on his parents.
ReplyDeleteCal and Rudolphia are my Greatgrandparents. Frank, my great Uncle died of a ruptured appendix.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Linda Trucco, I bought the Baber/Holliday house with my husband at the time, from your Uncle Frank in 2009. I would love to visit with you about some things; especially some old photographs I found in the house. Mark and I sold the house a few years later..
