BRINKER (1870-1934), born in IL the son of Adam Brinker and Catherine (_?_). Lewis married 28 May 1894, Lydia Anna Elizabeth STEINKE (1876-1961), in Kit Carson County, CO. They are both buried at Goodland Cemetery, Sherman, KS where they spent the major part of their married lives. The couple had six children; only three lived past childhood: 1. Adam Clifford, born 22 Sep 1895 in IL, died 21 May 1997 at Goodland, Sherman, KS 2. Beulah, born 24 Dec 1897, Goodland, KS (a twin) nothing more known. 3. Bessie, born 24 Dec 1897, Goodland, KS (a twin), died Oct 1974 at Littleton, Arapahoe, CO, m. 18 Sep 1921, Goodland to Harley C. HORNER; both buried Goodland Cemetery. 4. Gladys (or Lola or Madge), born abt. 1901, Goodland, nothing more known. 5. Edna, born 24 Dec 1903, died 4 May 1904, Goodland, buried Goodland Cemetery. 6. Ernst (Ernest), born 20 Mar 1907, died 4 Apr 1909, Goodland, buried Goodland Cemetery. I am particularly interested in the exact dates of birth and death for Lewis E. Brinker (an obituary would be wonderful). An obit for Lydia (Steinke) Brinker would probably be helpful. And any information about their daughters, Beulah and Gladys would be most welcome. I have information on the Steinke family that I would be happy to exchange with any interested researchers. This message contains all that I know about the Brinker family.
