From the Jackson Daily News, April 2, 1906, p. 3:
The following beautiful tribute to the late Mrs. Kate Holland, of this city, appeared in the last issue of the Yazoo Sentinel:
Mrs. Kate Barrett Holland died in Yazoo City Saturday morning at 12:25, March 17, 1906, where she had come for medical treatment. For many years she had been in delicate health, and for the last five years she had been an invalid and a great sufferer. . . .
Kate Holland was born June 23, 1857, in Jackson, Miss., where she was reared and lived all the years of her life. She was the daughter of Miss Kate Barrett, now dead, a beautiful and cultured woman who belonged to one of the oldest and most aristocratic families of the state. Her father was the late O. P. Wright, a native of South Carolina, likewise prominently related, and well known and popular in Mississippi, his adopted state.
From an early age she was a devoted member of the Second Baptist church, of Jackson. To mourn her, she leaves three children, Miss Lavinia Holland, Mr. Jennings Holland, Mrs. W. H. Moss, and one brother, Mr. Cordell Wright, and three sisters, Mrs. Geo. P. Dorsey, Mrs. Mary W. Winslow, all of Jackson, and Mrs. B. F. Bailey, of Laurens, S.C., besides many other near relatives and devoted friends. . . .
The funeral services were conducted at the old homestead, her home in West Jackson, Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock, March 18, by Rev. W. P. Price, assisted by Rev. W. F. Yarborough, after which she was laid to rest, beneath a profusion of rare, sweet flowers, in Greenwood cemetery, among her loved ones who had gone before and where all sleep alike under the blue skies and the mocking bird trills his sweet warbled notes the summer long.
