Stroke is Fatal to Joe Brinkle - Worked for Santa Fe 16 Years
     A stroke proved fatal last Friday to Joseph Theodore Brinkle, 64, 
well known resident and employee of the Santa Fe railroad here.  He had 
been working for the Santa Fe for the past 16 years.
     Born in Purcell, Brinkle had been ill with heart trouble for the 
past few months and had been out of the hospital only a week when he 
suffered the fatal stroke.
     Rosary was held Sunday evening at the Yoakum church chapel, with 
the funeral service Monday morning at Our Lady of Victory church.  
Father Kenneth Fulton officiated and internment was at Hillside cemetery.
     Brinkel is survived by his wife Helena and a daughter Veronica of
the home address 721 South Canadian.  Also three brothers - John, Bill 
and Ben Brinkle all of Broadview, Montana.
     Brinkle will be remembered for the beautiful Nativity scene he 
erected in his yard and at the Catholic church each Christmas.
