Rebecca was the tenth of twelve children born to Peter Holem (1825-1913) and Rebecca Weyrick (1825-1900) who married on 4 Feb. 1847 in Summit Co., Ohio.

After the birth of their first child, son Benjamin (1847-1911), Rebecca's father moved the family to Indiana "in a one-horse wagon, and the trip occupied eighteen days from Akron, Ohio to Marshall County. Mr. Holem located in the woods and experienced hardships of so discouraging a nature that even his determination wavered...depending on the woods for meat, in the shape of venison and turkeys. But success finally came, and today Mr. Holem ranks among the first of Marshall County farmers." (From "History of Indiana, Vol. II Marshall County")

After settling in Marshall County, Peter and Rebecca had ten more children--Melissa/Amelia (b.1849), Elizabeth (1850-1852), Caroline (1851-1852), Caroline "Carrie" (1852-1940), Jonathan N. (1854-1934), Amanda (1856-1925), Herman (1858-1933), Sarah Alice (1860-1916), Rebecca "Becky" (1862-1909), David (1865-1944) and George Clinton (1867-1921).

On 2 Dec. 1880, Rebecca married John Crawford in Marshall Co., Indiana. They had six children together--Nettie M. (b.1883), Edward "Eddie" E. (b.1885), Lora A. (1887-1897), Lulu A. (1890-1897), Jesse E. (1896-1964) and an unknown child.
