Levi Holbrook, whose parents were Levi and Eliza (Grout) Holbrook, was born March 7, 1836, in Westboro, Mass , where his father was engaged in teaching. His earliest American ancestor on the paternal side was John Holbrook, who came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony from England in 1660. In 1852 he was graduated from Wilhston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass., as valedictorian of his class. He spent the following year in the West and then entered Yale. In his Freshman year he won a first Berkeley Premium and a second prize in mathematics, and was awarded the scholarship founded in 1849. He received a Berkeley Premium in Sopho- more year. His Junior appointment was the Greek oration. He held the Berkeley Scholarship in his Senior year and ranked as valedictorian at graduation. He belonged to Linonia and Phi Beta Kappa. Mr. Holbrook had always been greatly handicapped by trouble with his eyes. He spent the first six months after graduation in Boston undergoing treatment, and then took a horseback trip across the Rocky Mountains to the Columbia River and back, following which he resided in Danville, Va., for a time. From i860 to 1863, as the condition of his eyes permitted, he studied modern languages and literature in Cambridge, Mass., during part of this period being enrolled in the Harvard Graduate School. He was finally obliged to abandon the idea of a literary life, however. He was engaged in business in Boston from 1864 to 1867, after which he spent a year in New York City and a similar period traveling in Europe, Egypt, and Asia Minor. He had lived in New York City since 1871, but was unable to engage in much active work, although he had devoted his attention to financial affairs to a certain extent. Mr. Holbrook served as registrar general of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America from 1915 to 1920, and had been governor of the New York society of the organization. He was also a member of the Order of the Cincinnati, the New England Historical Gene- alogical Society, the Society of Colonial Wars, the Sons of the Revolution, the American Fine Arts Society, and the American Geographical Society (of which he was a councilor and secretary). He had been a manager of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. Mr. Holbrook died, from organic heart trouble, July 26, 1922, at his residence at Center Harbor, N. H. His body was taken to his native town for burial. He was married December 27, 1871, in Newark, N. Y., to Viola, daughter of John A. and Elizabeth (Failing) Vowers. Mrs. Holbrook's death occurred September 10, 1922. They had two children, Clark, ex-g$y and Helen (B.A. Wheaton 1903), the wife of Julian P. Smith. Four grandchildren also survive.
