- At 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, April 17th, occurred the death of Henry Fink, Sr. a pioneer settler of Calumet Co., at the home of his son Henry near Dundas at the ripe age of 85 years, 4 months and 21 days, after a lingering illness. He was a native of Germany, being born in Dusseldorf. In 1850 he came to this country, stopping one year at Boston, Mass., where he was married to Elizabeth Reiven1. In 1851 he moved with his wife to Wisconsin and settled in the wilderness in the town of Woodville, near Dundas, where he devoted his time to clearing land and farming. The deceased was one of our very first settlers, there being no railroad or roads to this vicinity at the time and they had to carry most of their provisions from Green Bay. Seven years ago this aged couple celebrated their golden wedding. The deceased served several terms as county clerk of Calumet county in the early fifties. Twelve years unreadable of paralysis unreadable invalid ever since having been taken care of by his loving wife until March 12th, 1906, when she was called to her eternal reward. Mr. Fink was a very industrious man and was greatly interested in the advancement of this section of the country. He was a good neighbor and although his death was not wholly unexpected he is deeply mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends. Though confined to his bed for a long time he bore his lot patiently. He leaves to mourn one son, Henry, one daughter, Mrs. Math Kersten2 of Rudolph, twenty six grand children and four great-grandchildren. The funeral took place Saturday from St. Francis' Church at Holland, of which he was a devout member, and was attended by a large number of relatives and friends who came to offer their last tribute of respect to their venerable friend. The services were conducted by Rev. Father Vander Elsen. Those from outside who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Math. Kersten and daughter Theresa of Rudolf, John and Bernard Broekmans and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Coenen3 of De Pere, Mrs. John Kobussen and son of Little Chute, Mrs. John Coppers of Kaukauna, John Gerrits of Wrightstown and Mr. and Mrs. Mich. Arts of Ladysmith.
