Note: Katie Knight was a young girl of 20 years of age when she met Edward Holland, a graduate of Harvard College. The Knight family did not approve of Mr. Holland, so the family sent Katie to Whitewater, Wisconsin to stay with the Knight relatives that lived there at the time. Mr. Holland followed Katie to Whitewater and they eventually got married in Girard at St. Rose Catholic Church.
Edward Holland eventually converted to Catholicism. Edward died at the young age of 45 years in 1905. Edward left behind two sons, two daughters, and a widow to mourn his passing. Edward's father was a well respected builder in Baltimore, Maryland <s>and had been provided an education at Harvard University.</s>
