"In early life Mr. [Charles S.] Brink [memorial # 75838335] commenced working in the woods, and followed lumbering until 1873. In 1869 he married Miss Jane M. Cross [memorial # 75838434], who was born in St. Clair County, Mich. They had no children of their own, but took into their home and tenderly cared for an adopted daughter, Kate Cartwright. To her they gave the best educational advantages possible, and in her future they placed the greatest hopes, as she was very intelligent, bright and loveable. Their hopes, however, were doomed to disappointment, for in 1865 she died after a very short illness." – Excerpt from “Portrait and Biographical, Record of Northern Michigan,” published by Record Publishing Company of Chicago, 1895.
