      Mary's stone in the Coop Prairie Cemetery, Mansfield, Sebastion County Arkansas says this:
      OUR MOTHER
      AT REST
      MARY RENNICK HOLMAN
      BORN DEC.31, 1820, MARRIED TO ROBT.A.CALDWELL
      JULY 25, 1838, ENTERED HER ETERNAL REST,
      JULY 6, 1900 IN HER 80th YEAR

      Whether her generation spelled their name Holman or Holeman is an issue. Her middle name has been an issue among some in the family who thought it was Rebecca. I have only seen one thing where Mary, herself, wrote her middle name. Below is the transcription of a writing where Mary signs her middle name. It appears not to be a letter, but more likely a clarification or interpretation of the words written in a Jan. 2, 1870 letter and penciled on the outside of the Jan.4, 1870 envelope to Mrs. Mary R. Caldwell from her father and stepmother, Henry and Nancy Holeman.

      I have a lock of her hair given to me by my aunt Hattie. It is wrapped in an old piece of newspaper that has a date, Dec 1869 on it. It is a very pretty blond and straight. TM Short II.

      Nov. 8th, 1870
      Mr. Chambers a captain of a ship, either owned all or half of a ship. Mr. Chambers died in Boston, the year not exactly remembered, though the records should be examined from 1780 to 1820, if found sooner, he being unmarried left his estate to a sister of his who was married to a man by the name of Rennick. Her maiden name was Polly Chambers' she died in Woodford Co. Kentucky without receiving her legacy. And no one has ever attended to it and the same has not been collected by any of the heirs to the present time.
      Mary Rennick Caldwell
      Transcription by Tom M. Short II 11/22/01 from a writing by Mary Rennick Caldwell given to me by Harriette Fredna Caldwell Henderson on 11/22/2001.

      Margaret Corbin Lutz's Notes (prior to 1977):
      She was the daughter of Henry Holman and Elizabeth Jones, who moved to Callaway Co., Mo. in 1826. She died at home of her daughter America (Mecca) Caldwell (Mrs. John T.Bell). Her granddaughter, Zella Bell, of Henrietta, Okla., has in her possesion a part of the diary written from May, 1899 until July, 1900. A more complete diary is in the possession of Dr. W.K. (Bill) Bell, of Jonesboro, Ark.
