Death of Chas. F. Hinkel.

In the death of Chas. F. Hinkel of Content, which occurred at the family home last Monday, this section lost one of its most valued, oldest and best citizens. A farmer by profession, he was one of the best read, best posted men of our day and time, and conversation with him was appreciated as both pleasant and profitable, owing to his rich fund of information. Quiet and peaceful, honest in all his dealing, honest and upright, he was regarded by all as a model neighbor and citizen. Mr. Hinkel had been in ill health for some time past, and his death was not unexpected, although it proved a sad blow to his family and numerous relatives and friends throughout this section. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at the Odd Fellows cemetery in this city, a very large crowd being present to witness the last sad rites. The Verein Frohsinn of this city attended in a body. and sang at the grave. Mr. Hinkel was born at Lingefeld, Sachsen, April 18, 1832; came to New Ulm, Texas, in 1852; removed later to High Hill, thence to Content, a few miles south of Weimar, where he resided for the past forty years. He leaves a widow, three sons, three daughters, one brother, Heinrich Hinkle[sic] of Hackberry, and one sister, Mrs. C. A. Dittmann of Alleyton. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved family.
