Link married Carrie Bell Manker in Illinois in 1881. After the birth of 4 children, Carrie passed away in 1893 at age 26 of consumption. He then married Clara McCraw in Peoria County, Illinois on 17 Dec 1894. Sometime between 1905 and 1910, while in his mid-40's, he and his family moved to Iowa. At the 1910 census they were living in Gillette Grove, in Clay County.

Link was a farmer, and while putting hay in his hay loft on a hot July day, he failed to call down to his helper on the tractor when the hay was in the right position for dropping. When the helper called up to him to ask about dropping, he received no answer, so he climbed up and found Link had passed away, presumably of heat stroke.
