DATE: 17 MARCH 1954

CASE FILE:  	HOLLEN, WOODROW W, XC 16 586 695

SUBJECT:  INTERVIEW WITH JOHN F. LAMBDIN, PAOLI, INDIANA

On March 17, 1954, the undersigned personally interviewed Mr. John F. LAMBDIN aged 78 years, while Mr. LAMBDIN was visiting in the home of Mr. George W. NEWKIRK, R. R. 1, Paoli, Indiana.  The purpose of the interview was to develop information and evidence as to whether James F. DAVIS, stepfather of Woodrow W. HOLLEN, ever stood in the relationship of father to said HOLLEN.  Mr. LAMBDIN said he well remembered when DAVIS and his wife and children moved to the community and lived first in a house belonging to Samuel HOLLAND, now deceased, and later moved to a house originally belonging to Inice's mother; that he recalls that Hoover was President and later Roosevelt; that there were a number of children living in the home and, to the best of his knowledge, were supported by DAVIS; that these were Inice Davis' children by a prior marriage; that he had no definite recollection as to whether Woodrow W. HOLLEN, lived in the home, but he definitely recalls seeing Woodrow W. HOLLEN and his brother Clovie HOLLEN, although at the time he did not know one from the other; that he never hired either of said boys to do any work for him, but he did on many occasions hire said James F. DAVIS to work for him; that he remembers that DAVIS was usually always hungry and that he at big at dinner time; that he usually paid him in cash rather than in farm produce; that the rate of pay earned in those days was about $1.00 a day.

Mr. LAMBDIN also stated that he recalled that DAVIS and his wife usually had a garden of about three-fourths of an acre and always had a cow and sometimes two cows; that DAVIS was working in the community for other farmers as well as for him.  Mr. LAMBDIN further stated that he neer had Mr. DAVIS and Woodrow HOLLEN or any other of the children working for him as a team; that he always hired DAVIS alone.
