So far funeral arrangements on Thursday, the 17th, are the funeral will be Monday the 21st @ 2.00 p.m. at Holman Funeral Home.


Henderson Holman died this afternoon sometime between 2 and 3 p.m. Central Time. A lot is not known at this time. He had spoken on the phone with his (ex)wife about 50 minutes before he was found in his apartment. His body will be brought to Ozark and a burial is planned for Claybank Cemetery next to his parents. We do not know when that will be or any information at all. It will probably be determined by the time Martha and Rhoda, his sisters, and Barbie, his wife can arrive. Once we get an address for Henny, one of his sons, and his sisters we will add that to the blog along with any plans.

We ask that you call or write all involved to make sure. 

We also ask that you send in your updated information of mailing address, phone number, home and cell. If you are reading this, we have your email address
