Background
Dr. Augustus G. Holloway studied medicine at Western Reserve College, and in the late 1850s practiced medicine in Allen County, Ohio.

Holloway was mustered out in August 1864; in April 1865, he enlisted as a private to Company E of the newly organized 197th Regiment of Ohio Infantry and served as steward of the brigade hospital. The regiment was posted on duty at Washington and Alexandria, then moved to Dover, Delaware. In July 1865 the company was on guard duty in Baltimore, Maryland; it was mustered out on July 31, 1865. After the war, Holloway returned home to Ohio and continued to practice medicine.
