WINK

ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1895

WINK, MRS. JACOB H (MATILDA FEGELY)

A most extraordinary case terminated in death at Kutztown yesterday morning, when Mrs. Jacob Wink died after an illness of nearly four years aged 50. Two years ago, she had a cancer removed from her breast, after which operation the disease made its appearance in the abdomen, from which she was suffering until death relieved her of the suffering. Besides the growth in the abdomen, she was afflicted with osteosarcoma, which so destroyed the animal matter in the bones that they were as brittle as if burnt in an oven. At the time of her death, both her lower limbs were fractured, the bones having snapped off like pipe stems, whilst some time ago both arms were in the same condition. The bones so brittle that the slightest motion of the body caused

them to break. Such cases are very rare in surgical or medical history and there were many visitors to her bedside, and the case will likely be fully reported to the leading medical journals.

A worthy representative of a noted family, a native of our county, passed to the better life beyond. Daniel Wink, of Cumberland county, died on Sunday and was buried on Tuesday.

Deceased was married to a sister of Ephraim Bower, deceased, and left this section fifty-eight years ago. He leaves two sons, two daughters and a number of grand-children. Our worthy townsman John G. Wink is a brother of the deceased and is the oldest native of Kutztown living. He is in his 82d year now and as hale and hearty as a man of sixty. He is a walking history relative to this section and is an authority on anything that transpired here during his lifetime. His brother Samuel Wink in Iowa is in his 77th and his brother D. Augustus G. Wink, of our town, is in his 72 year. John G. Wink is now the oldest living native of Kutztown and he is an illustrious sample, too.

KUTZTOWN PATRIOT, MARCH 6, 1897

SALLIE KEMP,

the nonagenarian and oldest resident of our borough, has gone to her eternal reward. After a protracted illness of four months she closed her eyes in death, unexpectedly and peacefully, last Sunday morning, at the ripe old age of 91 years, 5 months and 24 days. Her ailment consisted of the infirmities of old age which she bore patiently and with remarkable fortitude. She was conscious to the last moment. Noticing that suddenly her condition turned to the worse, Mrs. Catharine Michael, who nursed her tenderly, asked her whether she should send for the doctor. She answered no, don't send for him; I am going to die.'' Then she gasped a few times and expired. She had made all preparations for death and given directions as to every detail of the funeral arrangements. Being a devoted member of St. John's Reformed congregation and Sunday school, she ordered that her pastor. Rev. K. E. H. Leinbach, was to officiate and preach the funeral sermon in St. John's church, and that the Sunday school should turn out in a body. She selected the funeral text, Psalm 94 : 19 ;the style of the coffin, tombstone, and these pall bearers : Wm. G. McGargy, Peter C. Wanner, Chas. Lesher and Isaac Fegely. She also directed where the funeral dinner was to be served.

Deceased was the only daughter of Daniel Kemp and wife Rachel, nee Wink. She had six brothers all of whom preceded her in death. They were Daniel, George, Isaac, Jacob, William and DeWalt. She was born and raised in Maxatawny, on the farm now owned by her nephew, Nathan S. Kemp. After her father's death she kept house for her mother, until the latter's death. Sometime subsequently, about forty years ago, she and her brother Dewalt bought the house in which she died and kept house there. She continued to live there to the end of her days. She was a hard worker all through her life, though there was no necessity for it. She would get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to work at artificial flowers and work until late at night. She leaves one son, Willoughby C. Felthoff, of Reading. Two of her surviving nephews reside in town, Nathan Kemp and Henry Stump. The former was her advisor for years. She leaves four grandchildren, two sons and two daughters, children of Mr. Felthoff.

The funeral was held on Thursday and was very largely attended. Interment' was made in Fairview cemetery. Rev. E. H. Leinbach preached a highly appropriate and impressive sermon. Undertakers, Wm. Gehret and Son had charge of the remains.

KUTZTOWN PATRIOT, DECEMBER 28, 1901

JOHN G. WINK.

There are certain reasons why the Patriot should take notice editorially of the decease of this aged and honored citizen of our town. During a long period of years Mr. Wink was a familiar figure on our streets. In very many ways he was prominently and efficiently connected with the history and development of this place. In civil matters and social as well, in affairs educational and religious he was, so long as health and strength remained, active and influential. He was one of the few remaining links that joined the Kutztown of recent years with the Kutztown known in former generations. His reminiscences were always interesting and the

quotations from his diary which from time to time appeared in this paper were read with enjoyment by all whose eyes fell upon them; they gave a most unique and entertaining insight into the manners and customs as well as the happenings of the olden time. Mr. Wink will be missed by a large circle of appreciative friends and the announcement of his decease, albeit at so ripe an age, will elicit expressions of regret in hundreds of homes, not only in our neighborhood, but in places far remote where live the men and women who as boys and girls in Kutztown knew and loved the kindly old gentleman.

"After life's fitful fever he sleeps well." Peace to his ashes.
