From the Lebo Enterprise, September 27, 1923
Mrs. Leland Holman
Emily Jane Chaffin was born near Mocksville, N. C., June 15, 1843 and at the age of 24 was married to Wm. Mock of Mocksville, N. C. To this union were born six children, two of whom died in infancy. They only son, Albert died at the age of 26 years.
After the death of Mr. Mock, she with her four small children moved to western Kans., where she and her brother Charles Chaffin lived on a claim until her marriage in 1880 to Mr. Leland Holman. They soon moved to the vicinity near the present site of Lebo and in 1885 moved to the farm 6 miles west of Lebo which has been her home until the present time. To this union three children were born; one dying in infancy. In February 1906 her husband passed away. Those who survive her are Mrs. Lela Frizzell and Mrs. Grace Norris of Santa Monica, Calif., Mrs. Margaret Ball of Lawrence, Mrs. Mamie Grimes of Topeka, Mr. Otto Holman of Lincoln, Nebr., and Mrs. Maud Sparks and Mrs. India Workeman of Emporia, Kas.
Mrs. Holman was known by a large circle of acquaintances for her wonderful ambition and activity but it is of her life in the home that we observed her as a remarkable woman. She was one of those women whose loyalty to her children endeared them to her. There was no place dearer to them than home with mother in the center. It was a pleasure to be a friend of hers for you always felt that her friendship was true. She had a remarkable memory and in her old age was able to repeat poem after poem which was a great comfort to her. But age will creep on us all and the time comes when we go to seek fairer climes eternally in the heavens.
The funeral was held at the Methodist church Friday afternoon in charge of Rev. Lewis. Burial was made in Lincoln cemetery.
