ALPHEUS W. HOLBROOK (deceased) was born in Rutland County, Vt., January 3, 1804, son of Abel Holbrook. He came to Rome Township, this county, in 1828, and after two years purchased a large tract of land which he immediately began to clear and develop. He was united in marriage, December 28, 1835, with Sophia E. Little, born in Rutland County, Vt., daughter of Rufus Little, a pioneer of Richmond Township, Crawford Co., Penn. To this union were born three children, viz.: Vivalda (deceased), Eunice Ann and Sarah Lavonia. Mr. Holbrook was a stanch Republican in politics; an earnest member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and after leading a long and useful life, died November 21, 1879, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. His loss was deeply mourned by a large circle of friends. His widow still survives, and is being tenderly cared for by her daughters, who manage with commendable business skill the large estate of 204 acres of finely improved land left by their father. They have each a separate tract also. The Holbrooks are a representative family of Rome Township, and well deserve the respect and esteem with which they are regarded.
