SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 189L
DIED Fred. Brlnkiuan.
Aftor an illness of about six months
vrlth a complication of diseases Fred
erick Brinkman passed peacefully
away Monday morning between the
hours of eight and nine o'clock. His
last moments on earth were passed in
the prosonce of members of his family
una tno attending pnysiciun, Jr, J. u.
Zorn. Deceased was aged 68 years, and
leaves a wife in poor health, and a
family of boys, Will, Henry, Fred,
Ooorgo and Charles. Interment took
placo Thursday afternoon, Revs. J.
Alvln Reber, of Zlon's Reformed
church, A. Bartholomew, of tho same
faith oUQciating at the last sad rites.
Carl Frederick Adolph Brinkman is
another representative of what thrift
and determination can do. He was born
in Lippo Dotmolt, tno of tho sixty-six
states which comprise tho great Ger
man empire. At tho tender age of
seven years ho was left an orphan, and
the world was before him. He was
adopted by friends, and the compulsory
school law of that country gavo him a
good education; later ho was appren
ticed to learn tho sculpture- trade,
which he mastered in every detail.
When 25 years of age he started, with
an emigrant trunk containing all earth
ly bolongings, for America, a land of
full and plenty. First, he made his
homo in Lohlgh Gap out soon aftor
settled In this town when Sunday was
scarcely known and what are now well
kept streets and by ways wero only
scrub oak and stones. He launched in
the tumb stone business which ho con
tinued until about a year ago when he
turned tho business over to his sons
who now conduct it. It was in this
business that he acquired his bolong
ings which aro said to be considerable.
He married a Miss Frodericka Fehlera
sister to Mrs. George Rapp, of Woiss
port, who still survives him, though for
somo years she has been bedfast with
disease. By faith Mr. Brinkman was
of Zlon's Reformed sect, having con
nected himself with that church while
a boy in the old Fatherland. He filled,
at different times church offices and
held municipal and other honorary
offices. He was a man of firm integrity
and had many kindly qualities. He
was the last of his kin a brother and
sister whom he parted with when he
bid his native land good-bye, not hav
ing boon heard of in a quarter of a
century or more. To the bereaved
family, the Advocate, as an old friend,
offers kindly sympathy.
