Mother of H. I. Holderness Dies at Age of Ninety

Mrs. Catherine B. Holderness, aged 90, widow of Dr. A. S. Holderness of Fordyce, and mother of H. L. Holderness of this city, died at the family residence at Fordyce last Sunday morning. Mrs. Holderness had been in declining health for several months. Her son, Mr. Holderness, was called to Fordyce last week at which time it was reported that she was not expected to live.
She was born in Chambers county, Ala. and came to Arkansas in early girlhood, settling at Chambersville, where she was married to Dr. Holderness in 1865.
In 1882 she came with her husband to Fordyce, where she has since lived. At the time of her death she was the oldest citizen in point of residence. Mrs. Holderness was a lifelong member of the Methodist church and was at the time of her death the only surviving charter member of the Fordyce church.
In former years she was a frequent visitor to Pine Bluff and had many friends here who will regret to learn of her death.
Dr. and Mrs. Holderness reared a family of nine children, five of whom survive her. They are H. I. Holderness of this city, Miss Minnie Holderness of Fordyce, M. E. Holderness and J. S. Holderness of St. Louis, and Mrs. John R. Hampton of Little Rock. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
