Death of William Pink
Highly Respected Citizen of Jasper County
Called to His RewardDid our friend, this husband, father, know when the time was? When he moved into his new home in the city, did he know that 'ere the year 1910 would close, he would be on the other side? What is your life? Now we see through the mirror darkly, then we shall see him face to face.
William Pink, our neighbor, friend now deceased was born in France on the 22d day of May 1856 and departed this life Friday morning May 27, 1910, at the age of 54 years and 5 days. His parents were Frank and Susan Pink, the former born in Belgium, the latter in Luxinberg, Germany.
For many years he has labored, tilling the land and by industry and perseverance has cultivated many a broad acre and gathered it as his own. On the eighteenth day of October 1882, not wishing to continue life's alone, he asked Mary Klos to journey with him, which proved to be a very happy one. As a result of this union, two daughters and three sons were given them; Josephine, wife of W. A. Shill of Kellogg; Miss Mae and Frank W. of Des Moines; Peter and Andrew who reside near Newton. Mr. Pink is survived by his wife and children. His last illness was brief and his death came as a severe shock to the entire community.
He moved to Newton from the farm in the early spring, having purchased the Clyde Meredith property. Several weeks ago he went out to the old homestead where his son resides for a short visit, and it was there he took sick and died among old familiar scenes. A good neighbor, a loving father has been cut down in the midst of his years.
The funeral services were held from his late home in the country, Sunday morning at eleven o'clock, conducted by the Rev. W. Dieffenbach. There was a profusion of beautiful flowers which only in a small way spoke of the high esteem in which he has been held by all. Many sorrowing and sympathizing friends followed the remains to the Metz cemetery, where they were laid to rest in that last long sleep. ~ unknown newspaper and date.

Death of William PinkWilliam Pink was born in France, May 22, 1856 and departed this life at the "old homestead" in Sherman township, May 27th, 1910, aged 54 years and 5 days. On the 18th day of October, 1882, he was united in marriage to Mary A. Klos at Des Moines. As a result of this union God blessed them with five children, two daughters and three sons, all living and present with the mother to pay the last sad tribute of respect to a kind husband and loving father. The names of the children are Josephine, wife of W. A. Shill, of Kellogg, Miss Mae, Frank W, of Des Moines, Peter and Andrew.
Mr. Pink lived a useful life in the community where he died, in the enjoyment of the respect and good will of his large circle of friends and acquaintances. In the home he was ever know as the loving husband, the kind and indulgent father, being affectionate toward his family group, and was equally endeared by them in return. Only a short illness and he passed away to the other shore. The large attendance at the funeral testified strongly the love his neighbors and friends bore for him. Rev. Dieffenbach officiated, speaking from these words, "Ye know not when the time is." He was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery only a short distance from Metz. May the Master teach the bereaved family how to bear their sorrow and look unto Him as the "author and finisher of their faith."
The Funeral was from the house at ... on Sunday morning. ~ Newton Journal, June 1, 1910.
Note: 1900 census says he immigrated to U.S. in 1856.
