[S927] Obituary. GEORGE JACOB RINK THE MILLERSBURG GRIT, THURSDAY FEB 22, 1900 DEATH OF GEORGE JACOB RINK George Jacob Rink died at his late home one half mile north of Millersburg. Thursday evening Feb. 15, 1900 from general debility attendant with old age. Deceased was born in Bavaria, Germany June 22, 1820, he was here for 79yrs, 5 months, and 23 days. He received his education in the common schools of Germany, attending from the time he was five years of age until he reached thirteen. In 1836, when sixteen years of age, he came to America to seek his fortune, locating in Elkhart county a poor boy in 1837. He preempted a tract of government land and set about to improve it so that it would yield an income. By hard work he succeeded and as the country became more thickly settled his lands grew in value. He married Jan. 27, 1840 to Catherine Kline, who preceded him to the spirit land thirteen years ago lacking just ten hours. They were the parents of nine children, seven of whom are still living - Anthony, John, George, Boston, Daniel, Michael,and William- who reside within a radius of twenty miles from the old homestead. Mr. Rink gave each of his sons an 80 acre farm and they have all proven themselves as industrious as their father, and have added to their possessions. Deceased had been in poor health for several years and during the past year had failed rapidly and his friends realized that his stay on earth was limited and they were prepared for the worst. He had made his home with his son, George, for a number of years. Mr. Rink was an honorable citizen and a member of the Catholic church. He was one of the pillars here and contributed literally toward the building of the church. The funeral was held from the Catholic church Monday, and was attended by a large concourse of people, the church being crowded to its utmost capacity the services, assisted by the Rev. Fathers Thiele and Noll. The remains of Mr. Rink were interred in Brown's Cemetery, south of town. Donated by Toni Britton
