The San Bernardino Daily Sun (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 4, Col. 4 Tue., Nov. 12, 1918 ALONZO MONROE FRINK News of the death of Alonzo Monroe Frink on the morning of Sunday at the Loma Linda sanitarium brought sorrow to many pioneers of the valley, those who had known the Frink family and followed their joys and sorrows through the years with the devotion of friendship. Mr. Frink was stricken with pneumonia, the malady finding him an easy victim since the automobile accident of about a year ago on the Box Springs grade left him in a rather weakened condition. Alonzo Monroe Frink was born in El Casco, Riverside county, California, on January 20, 1858. While he was still very young his parents moved to the present home on Cottonwood row, where he had made his home for 52 years. "Lon", as he was affectionately termed, was the senior member of the firm of Frink Bros., fruit growers and merchants of Bryn Mawr. He was educated in the public school of Mission, going from there to work on the farm, which he helped develop from a sagebrush waste to a beautiful orange grove. His marriage to Miss Lorana Van Leuven occurred on October 8, 1881, the daughter born of this union and surviving being Miss Lizzie Bahr of Bryn Mawr. A brother, M. L. Frink of Bryn Mawr, a sister, Mrs. Polly A. Gasner of Colton, and two grandchildren are among the immediate family left to mourn. The deceased was a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West, and of San Bernardino lodge No. 290 of the Independent Order of Odd fellows. He was among the most kindhearted of men and in the surrounding neighborhood his musical ability was always in great demand on the occasions when old-time dances were in evidence. Remains will live in state at the chapel of Stephens & Son today from 9 o'clock until 1:30. At 2 o'clock the funeral cortege will make its way to the City cemetery, where services will be held at the graveside by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
