Remembering Edgar Holmes, Jr.

2005-08-19 - Columbia, KY - Photo Patty Jones. The Green River Cowboys, Edgar Holmes, Jr.'s group, will lead the funeral procession on horseback in tribute to him. They will lead a riderless horse in his memory. The above photo of Junior was taken at the Foothills Festival in Albany, KY. The cowboys did a show there in 2003. The group remembers that he always played the sherrif in their Jessie James Gang reinactments because he was simply too kind hearted to be believable as a bad guy. His daughter Beth joined him in many of the shows they did. He was a highly skilled gunsmith as well as an excellent horseman. Junior was extremely devoted to his church and donated much of his time to it. Click 'read more' for his obituary.
