From Terry Cowan, April 2008
"Funeral rites for Charles A. Gollihar, 94, pioneer South Texas rancher, who died Wednesday afternoon, will be held Friday morning at St. Patrick's Cathedral. He came here with Green's Brigade at the close of the Civil War. Many years prior to establishing his own ranch south of here, Gollihar was active manager of a large tract of acreage on the famous King Ranch, and was well known throughout South Texas. Tall, gaunt and leather-skinned, he was a familiar figure on the streets of Corpus Christi several years ago when he drove through downtown traffic in a light buckboard behind a spirited bay mare. His sons only recently coaxed him into riding in automobiles. He considered them rattly, treacherous and too close to the ground. He retired from ranching several years ago and moved into town to live with his daughter, Mrs. Nellie Grant."
Charles A. Gollihar enlisted in the Confederate army on October 10, 1862 in San Antonio.
