Fink-At his home in Pleasant Plains, at 10:30 a. m. Tuesday, April 28, 1903, of old age, Daniel Fink, aged 80 years.
The deceased was one of the oldest residents of Pleasant Plains, moving there over fifty years ago from Louden county, Virginia, where he was born. He was closely identified with all the early enterprises, and was for a time the owner of the flouring mills in Pleasant Plains, the only mill short of Springfield. He was the one who sank the first coal shaft in Sangamon county, one and one-half miles north of Pleasant Plains, and was the only grain dealer there for fifteen years. He has held the office of justice of the peace and assessor a number of years. While he never identified himself with any church, he was of a devout nature, kind and considerate in his dealings with his fellowmen, and he enjoyed the domestic relations of home greatly. He leaves three daughters, Mrs. Hattie Stapp, of Riverton; Mrs. William Gregory, of Rochester, and Miss Carrie Fink, who lived with and took care of her father, and two sons, J. B. Fink, of Monette, Mo., and George M. Fink, superintendent of the Adams Express company of Pittsburg, Pa. Funeral notice later.
