Jacob Henry Fink

      

 

Born: 17 Jul 1840, Iredell Co, NC

Died: 06 May 1901, Iredell Co, NC
 

Jacob Henry Fink was the fifth child born to Daniel Fink and Elizabeth Broyer.  Daniel was born  July 1840, more than likely in Iredell County, NC.

 
 
 

The 1850 Iredell County Census shows that Jacob Henry Fink was 10 years old and living at home with his parents and all of his siblings.

In 1880, Jacob Henry Fink & Catherine were raising a family of seven children in the Chambersburg Township of Iredell County, NC.  Jacob is listed on the Census as maimed, crippled or disabled - which could have been the result of an injury when he served in the Civil War.  The four oldest children were in school and there was an additional farm laborer, Samuel Fleming, living with the family.  The Census says that Jacob could neither read nor write.

(Could this be William S. A. Fink, son of Jacob Henry Fink?)

Jan 24, 1889 - Mr. W. A. Fink who went to Arkansas a few weeks ago, wrote back the other day that he came across John McNabb in Arkansas and stayed all night with him.  He is doing well, and held family worship night and morning.  He did not tell McNabb's post office address nor his occupation and also failed to say whether or not they had donated him a house and lot and promoted him to an eldership.
 
 
 

The 1900 Census shows that Jacob and Catherine had moved to the Cool Spring Township of Iredell County.

Jacob died 06 May 1901.  Catherine died 27 Dec 1908.
 
 
 

The death certificate below appears to be that of Catherine E. W. Martin Fink.  The 1900 Census shows her born in 1940 - the death certificate shows Conelia Wilhelmina born in 1940 - but the month is different on the two documents.

The name on the death certificate is Conelia Wilhelmina Fink.  The 1880 Census lists her name as Catherine E. W. Fink.  Could the "W" on the 1880 Census be for Wilhelmina?

George L. Murr was the informant.  Our Catherine had a son-in-law named George Lafayette Murr, married to her daughter Emma.  If this was our George L. Murr, he obviously wasn't familiar with all the facts about the Fink family.  Did George Murr only know her as Wilhelmina and guessed that her first name was “Conelia” instead of “Catherine”?

Catherine was married to Jacob Henry Fink, but this death certificate says that Cornelia Wilhelmina Fink's husband was John Henry Fink.  Catherine's maiden name was "Martin".  The death certificate listed Wilhelmina’s father as Cam Martin so this is also a possibility.
