    1. [STRAUSS] BRINKMAN - STRAUSS Family Photograph
    2. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Rev. BRINKMAN which was taken at the H. P. Fischer Studio in Marietta, OH. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the young man in his 20's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this individual: Rev. William H. BRINKMAN was b. Aug 1874 or 1877 in Racine, WI and married Marieth Freda Frederica STRAUSS (1879-1962) and he died 6 Apr 1947 in Portland, OR and is buried in the Lincoln Memorial Park cemetery in Portland, OR along with his wife. Census records provide the following details: 1880 census of Racine, WI: Charly BRINKMAN, age 33, a Laborer, born Germany, parents born Germany Henritte BRINKMAN, wife, age 35, Keeping House, born Germany, parents born Germany Charly BRINKMAN, son, age 11, born WI Marrie BRINKMAN, dau, age 9, born WI Ida BRINKMAN, dau, age 8, born WI William BRINKMAN, son, age 5, born WI Bertha BRINKMAN, dau, age 2, born WI Henrietha BRINKMAN, dau, age 1 month, born WI 1900 census of Marietta, OH: William E. BRINKMAN, age 25, born Aug 1874, born WI, parents born WI/England, a Lutheran Minister 1910 census of Warren, PA: William E. BRINKMAN, age 32, married 9 years, born WI, parents born Germany, a Clergyman Freda BRINKMAN, wife, age 28, married 9 years, born OH, parents born Germany I am hoping to locate someone from this BRINKMAN Family so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
