Another Pioneer Called By Death.
On last Thursday, March 6, 1919, at 5:30 o'clock P. M., at his home in this city occurred the death of Andrew Pink, after a lingering illness and at the age of 68 years, 6 months and 16 days. Deceased was born in British Hollow, Wisconsin, on August 18, 1850, and in the year 1865 he came to Guttenberg, Iowa, to reside, where he lived until the Angel of Death called him to the Great Beyond. On February 3, 1872, he was married at Guttenberg, Iowa, to Miss Mary Tieke. His occupation was that of a wagon maker. In the year 1870 he engaged in the wagon making business alone, which business he conducted successfully for a number of years. Deceased had been ailing for several years, but was a patient sufferer and had not given up hopes of recovery until he was called to that world, where there is no more suffering, but joy and happiness forever. All that loving hands could do and medical knowledge could suggest, was done for him to ward off death, but all failed. Mr. Pink was an ambitious man during his entire life, and in his death this community loses one of its most worthy and upright citizens. His death is deeply mourned by five sons, John A., of Dyersville, Henry, of Waterloo, Bernard, Edward and Albert, of Guttenberg, three daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Harter, of Marshfield, Wis., Mrs. Clara Eilers, of Yankton, S. D., and Miss Alma Pink, of Guttenberg, 2 brothers, John Pink, of Lancaster, Wis., and Joseph Pink, of Highland, Wis., 19 grandchildren and many other relatives and friends by whom he will be sadly missed. Funeral services were held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in this city last Monday morning, Rev. J. H. Brinkman officiating. Interment was made in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The funeral was very largely attended by relatives and friends from far and near, which showed that deceased was held in high regard by all who knew him. He was also a member of the M. W. A. Lodge.
