  The Slatington News, April 30, 1904
  John Link, one of the oldest residents of town, died on Saturday evening at 
  6:30 o'clock at his home on Franklin Street, aged 75 years, 3 months and 1 
  day.  He had been ailing for the past nine months and his death was due to a 
  stroke of apoplexy which he sustained Saturday.  Mr. Link was for many years 
  the night watchman at Kern's planing mill and held that position until about 
  nine months ago when he was compelled to relinquish his duties on account of 
  failing health.  He was born in Wuertmburg, Germany, and emigrated to America 
  at that age of 15 years, locating at Philadelphia.  Mr. Link was a butcher and 
  if not in error was the first butcher in Slatington.  He was a member of 
  Samuel Kress Post, No. 284, G.A.R., and also of the Knights of Pythias, No. 
  294.  He is survived by a wife, three sons and two daughters.  The sons are:  
  William H., John F., and James P.  and the daughters are Miss Hattie, of 
  Philadelphia and Miss Emma, of Hudsondale.  The funeral was held on Wednesday 
  afternoon with services in St. John's Lutheran Church, conducted by his 
  pastor, Rev. J.S. Erb.  The pallbearers were William Williams, Levi Peters, 
  and William H. Morey of the G.A.R., and William P. Williams, William Owens and 
  William J. Evans of the K. of P. Lodge.  Interment was made in Union 
  Cemetery.  B.
