You can then track the Rinks through the census and also find a death certificate (NC) for Eliza Rink that fits the person described below. Most of the census records show Eliza having been born in the mid 1830's. However, Eliza's death certificate does say she was born in 1824. Eliza Lutz Rink appears to have lived in Ickard in Burke Co most of her life. Nancy Two different folks reading same tombstone came up with the following data-- On page 36 of BC Cemeteries, Book 2, Cline Cemetery on Costner Road, Burke/Catawba Co., NC, is this entry - Eliza Ann Lutz Wrink 24 Nov 1824 - 24 Dec 1926, 102 years old, wife of Miles Wrink. The entry on page 53 of Catawba Co. Cemeteries, Vol. 5, same cemetery, shown as - Elisa Ann Lutz, wife of Milas Wailk, same dates, age 102 years. This lady does not show up in 1900 Burke Co. Census nor is she listed in either the 1900 or 1910 Catawba Co., Censuses. I haven't found her in any marriage record so far under surname of Lutes or Lutz or Loots, etc. A lady of this age had to have been known in the area. Would someone be so kind as to clue me in on her? Ann K. Propst, Brevard, NC
