After an illness of many years, Abel H. Brink, aged 75, one of the pioneers of this vicinity, died of apoplexy at his home, 123 West Thirteenth street.
He is survived by a widow and several children. Four of these, Mrs. B. Brenker, Mrs. Thomas Sanning, Peter and Jay Brink, reside here. The others are Mrs. J. Mulder of Graafschaap, John Brink of Grand Rapids, and Henry Brink of Detroit.
Mr. Brink was always a leading character in the old days. Before coming to Holland he took an active part in the founding of Graafschaap and was at one time president of that village. On coming here he became one of the proprietors of the Holland furniture factory.
