===========================

Notes:
Brinks, Willemina Christina born 12 May 1912 died 17 Sep 1914 buried West Lawn cemetery Orange City IA, as listed in the Sioux County IA cemetery index. No death notice was found in the local newspapers.

There was found indication that this was the daughter of Henry Brinks and Christina Rouwenhorst as indicated in the obituary of Henry Brinks 1886-1939 that a small daughter had died many years ago. Then found in a report on ancestry.com that a young daughter had died, but also a daughter with the same name sake , Wilmina Christina Brinks was born 1916. This was common practice for people of Dutch descent to name a child with the same name as a previously deceased child. See the mother’s obit Christina (Mrs. Henry) Brinks 1891-1940 obit.
