In 1886 he married "Belle" Watson, James Sibley Watson's older sister. After her death in 1903, in 1906 he married her sister, "Bess," who lived next door in a house jointly purchased with her mother, Caroline Manning Watson, who had died in 1900.
Granger A. Hollister was involved in the Rochester Gas & Electric and Rochester Railway & Light companies, was a director of the Rochester Savings Bank and one of the organizers of the Security Trust Company in Rochester, founded in 1892.
