General Notes: Husband - Paul R. Brinker


He enjoyed the limited advantages of the common schools and made farming his occupation till 1874. In that year he moved from his farm to Manor, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in the lumber business as a member of the firm of Waugaman, Brinker & Co. July 8, 1875, he withdrew from this firm and opened a large establishment on Race Street, where he dealt extensively in groceries, hardware, furniture, stoves, house furnishing goods and farming implements till December 4, 1889. On the morning of that fateful day for Manor, a destructive fire swept away the principal business part of the village and its relentless flame-waves consumed Mr. Brinker's building, embracing his dwelling and store. At the lowest calculation he lost $10,000 by that fire.
He was a member of the Royal Arcanum, Order of Solon and A. O. U. W. He was an active democrat, was a justice of the peace and served under President Cleveland's appointment as postmaster at Manor from October, 1885 to June, 1889. He was a trustee of the new Reformed church.
