Debby Stevens
About me:
I'm a Christian, and I'm a daughter of Allan B. Holbrook, now in heaven. My married name is Debby Stevens.
About my family:
My parents, Allan and Marie, were devout Christians, and had 10 children. They were both school teachers, but Mom quit teaching at public school after marriage. But both Mom and Dad home-schooled us all - starting when I was in 1st grade - that's when they came to the decision to home-school us.
Dad earned an income through being an English teacher here in Traverse City, for man years.
Dad started some Bible meetings that took place in the homes of friends of ours and in our own. He was the main teacher in it, and it was in a discoursing style - he would talk about spiritual things with the fathers of the families, each time, and all the children of the families would sit and listen to it all.

Alfred Holbrook 1816 - 1909 (Professor & President of college) - Lebanon, OH
PROF. ALFRED HOLBROOK, President of the National Normal University, Lebanon, Ohio; was born in Derby, Conn., Feb. 17, 1816; he was the elder of two sons, the only children of Josiah Holbrook, celebrated as the founder of Teachers’ Institutes, the American Institute of Instruction and the lyceum or lecture system of popular instruction. He lost his mother when three years of age, but was tenderly cared for by several aunts, who faithfully laid a sturdy Christian foundation to his character; his school-days were almost entirely during his first twelve years; her read a chapter from the Bible when 3 years of age, his father giving to the aunt who was his instructor a promised silk dress for teaching him this feat. When about 11 years of age, he went to school to Elizur Wright, at Groton, Mass., where he boarded with the distinguished John Todd, than a Congregational minister of that place. At the age of 13, he went to Boston, where he was employed a year and a half in his father’s manufactory of school apparatus; he was here an indefatigable workman and a most zealous student, his studies being directed by his father. For a watch, promised by his father, if he should accomplish the task, he read Day’s algebra through in three months, very thoroughly, working all the examples; but his work and his study broke his health, and he returned to his native village, where he lived until 17 years of age, when he entered upon his first experience as a teacher, in Monroe, Conn. A year later, he went to New York and engaged for some eighteen months in the manufacture of surveyors’ instruments, he having determined to become an engineer. One of the few requests his father ever denied him was the one to go to Yale College, of which his father was a graduate. The reason assigned was the bad methods and the bad morals

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.

Richard Homer Holbrook 1922 - 1942 New York - India
Richard Homer Holbrook
Born: January 9, 1922
Hometown: Wayland, NY
Class: 1943
Service: Merchant Marine
Position / Rank: Engine Cadet
Date / Place of death: April 11, 1942 / Berhampur,
India
Date / Place of burial: April 12, 1942 / Catholic
Cemetery, Berhampur, India
Age: 20
Richard H. Holbrook signed on as Engine Cadet aboard the SS Bienville at the Port of
New York on December 12, 1941, less than a week after the United States officially
entered World War II. He was joined by his Academy classmate, Cadet-Midshipman
Robert W. Corliss who signed on as Deck Cadet. According to Corliss’ report, the
Bienville sailed from New York on December 15, 1941 with a crew of 43 bound for Suez
and other ports in the Middle East as directed. After discharging its cargo the Bienville
was ordered to Calcutta, India to load a cargo of manganese ore, jute, burlap and
general cargo. The ship sailed from Calcutta on April 3, bound for Columbo, Ceylon.
Unfortunately, the ship was also bound for a collision with six Japanese aircraft carriers,
escorted by cruisers and destroyers, that were conducting a raid into the Bay of Bengal
known by the Japanese Navy as “Operation C”.
During the morning 4 to 8 watch on April 6, 1942 Cadet-Midshipman Robert Corliss was
a lookout on the bridge when he heard gunfire ahead. In light of the situation he was
ordered to wake all hands. At 0718 the Bienville was attacked by Japanese aircraft and
was hit at the Number 2 hatch, starting a fire. While the crew was fighting the fire two
more Japanese aircraft attacked the Bienville, but without hitting the ship. At this early
point in the war the Bienville had no defensive armament.
In the growing light the crew of the Bienville saw a Japanese aircraft carrier, later
identified as the IJNS Ryujo, and its escorting cruisers and destroyers. The captain
attempted to run from the Japanese fleet and lay a smoke screen to hide behind.
However, their efforts were in vain. At about 0740 a Japanese cruiser, identified after
the war as the heavy cruiser IJNS Chokai, opened fire from less than two miles away,
hitting the ship at least five times, severely wounding Richard Holbrook.
