The Somerset herald. (Somerset, Pa.): January 20, 1892
John R. Brinham, who has been merchant and postmaster at Wellersburg, this county
for the past fifty years, died on Monday last, aged about eighty years. He was an
Englishman, having emigrated to this country when a boy and soon after his arrival
in America located at Wellersburg. He was prominent in developing the mineral
resources of that region and was the owner of several large tracts of mineral land.
He was greatly embarrassed by the financial panic of 1872 to 1878, but succeeded in
preventing the property from being sacrificed, by skillful management: and if the
day ever comes when the property can be sold at anything like it's real value, it
will leave his heirs in comfortable circumstances… He was a faithful member of the
church of England and an intense Republican.
