Mrs. Brinkerhoff Passes Away
At her home in this city on Thursday morning last occurred the death of Mrs. A.J. Brinkerhoff, after a consumptive illness of about five weeks. The funeral was held from the Presbyterian church, Rev. W.E. McLeod officiating, at 10 a.m. Friday and the remains taken to Wallingford for burial. The members of the Highland Nobles lodge of this city officially attended and also conducted a service at the church in Wallingford.

Christine [Christena] Anderson was daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Anderson and had been a resident of this vicinity for many years. She was born in Jessup in 1881 and on October 3, 1901 was united in marriage with A.J. Brinkerhoff and ever since made her home in the city. As a daughter, wife and friend she is very highly spoken of and in her religious practices was devoutly sincere. She was a member of the Presbyterian faith. To the husband and parents sympathy is extended in this great loss which has befallen them.
