Description
Photograph of the Golladay family. Seated in front are Lulu Ellen (Doll) and William "Bud" Luther Golladay. Standing, (l to r) are: Dorothy Neeb, Ann Rebecca, and Charlotte Virginia Golladay.
William L. Golladay was the son of Samuel C. and Caroline (Neeb) Golladay of Woodstock. His wife, also from Woodstock, was the daughter of George L. and Martha (Orndorff) Doll. They married on February 3, 1914, just before the start of World War I.
The couple had three daughters together and in the 1930 census, the family lived in Mt. Rainier, Prince Georges County, Maryland. Bud worked as a carpenter. Twenty years later, the 1950 census found Bud and Lulu only on a farm in the Woodstock area.
Dorothy Neeb Golladay married Charles Clifton Sacrey (1914-1989). Both are buried in Arlington National Cemetery where Charles's tombstone indicates he was in the U.S. Navy.
Ann Rebecca Golladay married Eugene Brook Gardner (1926-2014) in 1951. Together, they had a son, Timothy Patrick Gardner (1956-1989).
The youngest daughter, Charlotte Virginia Golladay, lived in Rappahannock County at the end of her life where she left a legacy of community service and involvement.
As a toddler, when the family lived in Maryland, Charlotte participated in Easter Egg Roll when Herbert Hoover occupied the White House. But, the family returned soon after to Woodstock, where Charlotte developed the reputation for being the "tomboy" and was often found milking cows or driving hay wagons on the family farm just west of Woodstock.
In 1945, she graduated from Woodstock High School and went to Lynchburg College, where she majored in music. There she met Paul Andrews Nichols (1926-1996), whom she married in 1953. The couple had three sons and many grandchildren and great grandchildren when she died.

Identified by Betty Page, who knew the two younger sisters because they were piano students of her mother, Katharine (Hottel) Benchoff. She also remembered that Bud had a brother, Ernest, who was a cousin by marriage. The brothers had farms in Fairview (North Street) west of Woodstock.
Additional information about these individuals was compiled from census data and Find-A-Grave records.
