Read More	John Quincy Brink, along with his brother-in-law Jonathan Cryder, were early pioneers of Graham Community. These gentlemen purchased the Graves Plantation on August 22, 1865 which they sold a year later in September of 1866. After the sale of this farm, John Quincy moved into Graham and engaged in the mercantile business and was for a large time identified with such interests there. He served as postmaster for a short time in 1869. As advancing years came to him however, he decided to retire from active commercial affairs and from that time until his death he lived quietly in the town which for so long had been his home. John was born 31 Oct 1829 in Green, Ross, Ohio; the son of Robert S. and Charity (Huffman) Brink. John was united in marriage to Mary Jane Cryder who was born 11 Feb 1830 in Springfield, Ross, Ohio. Mary was the sister of Jonathan Cryder. Mary was a descendent of the Michael Kreider family that emigrated from Switzerland and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Several branches of this family also use the spelling "Crider". John and Mary were the parents of four children: 1.) Martha Ellen "Mattie" born 15 Jun 1854 married Joseph "Harlan" Bohart 2.) John Robert "J.R." born 27 Sep 1857 married Helen Marguerite Kavanaugh 3.) Mary Elizabeth "Libbie" (1860-1876) 4.) Emma Jane born 11 May 1861 Jacob W. Spencer Mary, age 66, passed away 20 Jul 1896 and was laid to rest at the Prairie Home Cemetery in Graham. John remarried 10 Feb 1897 to Mrs. Rebecca O. Gillis-Cryder, his nephew Frank's widow.

Brink, Father of Maryville Man, Had Been Resident of Hughes Township Almost Half a Century Awakening from her sleep after midnight Thursday morning Mrs. J.Q. Brink of Graham was shocked to find her husband cold in death. He had passed away without a tremor, so far as can be known, and as paralysis was the cause of this sudden ending of his life it is believed Mr. Brink died in his sleep. The dead man, who was the father of J. R. Brink of East Sixth street, was one of Graham's oldest citizens as well as one of the pioneer settlers of Nodaway county he having been a resident of Hughes township for almost half a century. During that time he had became known to practically every person in that section of Nodaway county. His birthplace was near Chillicothe, O., where he was born in October 1829. When a young man Mr. Brink came west to Missouri and decided to make his home in Nodaway county. He located on a farm just north of Graham, where he lived for a number of years, afterward going to Graham to make his home. Farmer Becomes Merchant On settling in that town, Mr. Brink engaged in the mercantile business and was for a large time identified with such interests there. As advancing years came to him however, he decided to retire from active commercial affairs and from that time until his death he lived quietly in the town which so long been his home. Last summer Mr. Brink was stricken with paralysis, and given time it was feared he might not recover his former health. But more recently he had been much better and none who knew him thought death was near. The husband and wife retired Wednesday night as usual, Mr. Brink being apparently in excellent health. It was almost 2 o'clock when his wife discovered that he was dead. Three Children Survive Besides his wife, the dead man is survived by three children, none of whom was at home when the father died. They are: J.R. Brink of Maryville, Mrs. J.W. Spencer of St. Joseph, and Mrs. J.H. Bohart of Maitland. J.R. Brink left for Graham early Thursday morning immediately when being informed of the unexpected death of his father. Funeral services take place Saturday morning at 11 o'clock in Graham.
