Mrs. Mary Louise Holmes, daughter of the widely known pioneer family whose head was William H. Holmes, died at Rose Farm, near
Oregon City, Sunday. Funeral services will be held there tomorrow at 2 PM. and interment will be in Mountain View Cemetery,
Oregon City.

Miss Holmes was born at Rose Farm in 1844, her father having crossed the plains from Arkansas the previous year. She is
survived by a sister, Mrs. Dan O'Neill, and a nephew, Charles Holmes, both of whom live at Rose Farm. The Holmes farm, the
original homestead of the family, is a notable one in pioneer annals.

Miss Mary Louise Holmes, one of the best known women in this part of the state and a native of Clackamas County, died at her
home on Rose farm, near Oregon City, last night. Her death was due to complications resulting from a severe attack of typhoid
fever last year. She was born January 30, 1845, and was the daughter of the late William Livingstone Holmes and Mary Louise
Holmes, who were pioneers of 1842.

Miss Holmes was widely known for her prominence in church and charitable work. She was an active member of St. Paul's
Episcopal Church here, and had been president of the King's Daughters since the body was formed 18 years ago. She was a charter
member of St. Paul's Guild, and had been worthy matron of Pioneer Chapter, Order of Eastern Star.

Rose farm, where Miss Holmes lived with her sister, Mrs. Daniel O'Neill, was one of the most popular residences in the Oregon
country in early pioneer days. Governor Lane, of Oregon, and other dignitaries of the time were entertained there.

Besides her sister, Miss Holmes is survived by two nephews, Charles Holmes, of Oregon City, and William Holmes, of Spokane,
and an aunt, Mrs. Martin, of Spokane.

The funeral will be held Tuesday at 2 o'clock from the residence at Rose farm. Services will be conducted by Rev. T. F.
Bowen, of Sellwood, and the interment will be in the Masonic plat of Mountain View Cemetery. The site of Mountain View Cemetery
was donated to the city by Miss Holmes' father many years ago.
