Mrs. Eunice A. Holbrook died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas. Sweney, January 17, 1889. The deceased was a daughter of Capt. Silas Newcomb and was born March 29, 1812, in Greenwich, Mass.
In 1815 the family moved to Madison and there she was wedded March 9, 1830, to G.N. Holbrook, and from 1838 to 1851 they resided in Illinois and Wisconsin.

The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. AA. Thayer.
