Place of Residence: Norfolk, Virginia
Family: Father and mother: Thomas Holmstead and Mary Hobbs
Stepmother: Rose Harding-Holmstead
Stepbrother: Walter Holmstead
Husband: Antonio Garza
Daughter: Regina Garza
Distinguishing features: Only wears black clothes
History:
She was born to Thomas Holmstead and his mistress, Mary Hobbs. Mary died in childbirth so Thomas took Jeanette into the Holmstead household. On Feb 4, 1896, when Jeanette was 6 yrs. old, her father, Thomas, died of smallpox. On March 30 of the same year, Thomas’ wife, Rose, sent Jeanette to a boarding school in Richmond, VA. Jeanette never again returned to England. She grew bitter and resentful at Rose and Walter. Though people addressed her as Jeanette Holmstead she preferred to go by Jeanette Hobbs.
In Aug of 1907, an attorney visited Jeanette. He said that Thomas had set up a trust fund for her when she was born. Now that she was 18, she could withdraw from the $4,000,000 that had accumulated. She quit school the same day and traveled around Europe for the next two years.
Feb 1, 1909, Jeanette was in Spain and stopped to watch a bullfight. She was instantly enamored by the bullfighter and, once he won the fight, she ran down the isle, jumped over the barrier and kissed him in front of the entire arena. His name was Antonio Garza and they were wed a week later on Feb 7, 1909. They lived in Madrid in a hacienda he owned.
On Aug 7, 1910, Regina Lee Garza was born. Yet sadly on June 7, 1915, Antonio was gored by a bull and died. Jeanette then decided to sell everything and move back to Virginia, which they did a month later in Aug of 1915. Jeanette never re-married
There they lived off of Jeanette’s trust fund and what little money Antonio had left them, but in the winter of 1946 they fell on hard times. Together they pulled what money they could but it still was not enough to make all the payments they needed to. They came close to losing their house. It was Regina’s idea to visit Walter Holmstead and ask him for help and since Jeanette could not think of anything else to do, they went together by train to Chicago in Feb of 1947.
On Feb 10, 1947, they visited Walter and asked if he would help them. He denied. However, he offered to put them up in a nice hotel for the week that they were in town. Jeanette was again filled with rage and muttered threats under her breath. She often took long walks by herself and did not come back till late at night. On those walks she would follow Walter, find out about his dealings and what businesses he owned. She frequently went to “The River Queen”. On Feb 15, they took the train back to Virginia.
Once they arrived home again, they began looking for jobs. However on Feb 20, she received the letter summoning her to Walter’s will reading. She was very pleased thinking that perhaps his money would go to her since she was the closest living relative to him.
