THE BRECKENRIDGE BULLETIN,1879
Mrs. Belle Holman
Arabel Chestine Paul was born in Leesburg, Kentucky, November 1, 1845 and came to Breckenridge in 1861. She was married to George Washington Holman, March 5, 1867, who died December 15, 1879. Five children came into their home-Lillie George, Lida Belle, Lula E., Daisy and Stella.
Mrs. Lula Thomas of San Diego, California; Mrs. Stella Owens of Lincoln, Nebraska; a brother, Albert Paul, of Chicago, Illinois; seven grandchildren (one now dead) and three of whom were reared in their grandmother's home and nine great grandchildren remain to mourn the death of grandmother Holman.
Her last illness was very brief, only four days. She was very patient and submissive in her illness reflecting those rare qualities which had endeared her to all those who knew her.
The funeral was held from the Methodist Church Monday, conducted by Rev. E.C. Wood, and interment was in Rose Hill Cemetery beside the grave of her husband.
Her father, James Madison Paul, with his family came here from Kentucky when the subject of this sketch was 14 years old, but returned to Kentucky about a year later, where Mr. Paul died within a year and the widow with her family returned to Breckenridge. Before returning to Kentucky, Mr. Paul homesteaded and owned the half section east of town now owned by Will Dilley.
Mrs. Holman saw the Hannibal & St. Joseph (now the Burlington) built through Breckenridge north of the railroad in which she resided continuously for 60 years and in which she died.
Mrs. Holman lead for the most a strenuous, active life filled with service and good deeds. She was possessed of a wonderful store of vitality which was given freely in the service of those she loved. Beside rearing in her widowhood her own family, she had for years the care of her aged mother in her last long affliction, and for years had the principal care and responsibility of her afflicted brother, Herman. Then three orphan grandchildren were taken into her home and care for like a mother until maturity. Truly her's was a life filled with service and good deeds.

Snyder, Mrs. A. Snyder, Mrs. McCray, Chula; Steve Thomas and daughter, Miss Nellie, Braymer; Mr. and Mrs. Almon Chaffee, Mrs. Homer Goodwin, Kansas City; Mrs. B.R.
