Notes:
| Also known as
Lena Holland. Her family lived in Jelks (Patterson), Arkansas the year that
Joe Holland was baptized in the Cache River
there, c. 1918. Lorece Wright knew the Watson family in Patterson, and she remembered the name of Ora Watson. She had visited them as a little girl of 4 or 5. They had a similarly aged child she remembered -- "a beautiful daughter." Lorece's family had lived west of the Patterson church which was also close to the railroad tracks then. |

| This date differs by one year with what Joe Holland claimed it to be (1919). It appears that she could have died during the childbirth of William Pearson Watson (1920 Census indicates his birth was in 1919, though his death records indicate he was 3 in July of 1921). | ||
