Brinker, H. W., Mrs. - Died at her home in Sulphur Springs, April 1887.
She was born in Shelby County, Alabama, November ___, 1850. She was left
motherless in infancy, but in the providence of God found loving hearts
to take her in. She found a happy home in the family of her uncle, J. E.
Lewis, and his devoted Christian wife. She came with them to Texas and
settled in Hopkins County in 1859. On November 24, 1872, she married H.W.
Brinker. One with whom she had been associated from babyhood, rocked in
the same cradle, with whom she had "trundled her hoops" and played "hide
and seek" in the tender years of childhood^Òs innocence. Their childish
affection for each other increased with the passing years and was
strengthened into true devotion which was consummated in that sacred
union. She left two little girls, one large enough to cherish in memory
her mother^Òs words and smiles.
