F. M. Brinker was felling tree on his farm, about two miles from Curllsville, in Piney township, on the 15th inst., when the falling tree struck a dead tree which fell and in falling hit him on the head, cutting a terrible gash on the left side and causing concussion of the brain. He died on Sunday, the 20th, and was buried at Churchville on the 21st.
He leaves a wife and five children, the latter being young men and women. He was aged 50 years, 9 months and 4 days. In such a sad and sudden bereavement the heartfelt sympathy of the community goes out to the family and friends. Mrs. Brinker and family desire to return their thanks to the friends and neighbors who so kindly ministered to them in their time of trouble.

While engaged in falling a tree he received the hurt that was not thought to be very serious, but after five days he went the way of all mankind. Mr. Brinker was a hard working, pace-long [sic] and quiet citizen. His funeral was from the Reform church, Curllsville.
