J.R. Loving and J.J. Kirkland, after which the remains were interred in Bluff Cemetery. Rebecca Baker was born in Tennessee October 14,1829 and July 1847 was united in marriage to William Holcomb. Their union resulted in the birth of eight children, only three of whom survive, Calvin, W.H. and T.J., the latter residing at DeWitt, Arkansas County, and was unable to be present at the funeral. Mr. Holcomb was in the Confederate service during civil war and at its close he returned to Springdale and engaged in farming and also sold goods. In 1872 he and Mrs. Holcomb moved to their farm some five miles west of town which was their home until the death of Mr. Holcomb in September 1890. Since that time Mrs. Holcomb has made her home alternately with her sons Calvin and Will, who reside on the old place. She had been in ill health for some time but her death was due to pneumonia. Deceased had been a member of Shiloh Primitive Baptist church since November 1849 and it is doubtful if anyone was ever more faithful than she. Aunt Becca was a good woman in every sense of the word, kind an generous to all and no one in need ever called on her in vain. She has suffered much in late years but through it all exhibited a spirit of cheerfulness seldom seen. Aunt Becca has gone to her reward but the good she has done will live after her.
