Waldo Brink was born November 11, 1895 to Henry J. and Minnie Brink, nee Hoffman, on a farm in Hoyleton Twp. in the community called North Prairie. This farm had been in the Brink Family since 1845, when Waldo's great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Ernest Freiderich Wilhelm and Anna Maria Ilsabein Meyer Brink came from Eicksen, Rothenuffeln, Kreis Minden, West Prussia, Germany and settled here. They came from Germany to New Orleans and up the Mississippi River by river steamer to Grand Tower, Illinois. Here they were icebound and had to travel by oxcart the remainder of the way to Washington County. They both died within a few months of their arrival and are buried in a small cemetery on the original Brink homestead.
Some of their older sons had come to Washington County a few years sooner, one of which was Wilhelm Brink, grandfather of Waldo. Wilhelm Brink was born on January 24, 1820, married Mary Woepke Gerken on November 25, 1849. They had eight children - four of which lived to maturity - William, Charles, Henry J. and Theodore. Wilhelm died June 11, 1889. His son, Henry J. married Minnie Hoffman, daughter of William A. and Minnie Hoffman, nee Tugel, on February 2, 1882. They lived on the Brink homestead. Henry J. was born on November 17, 1857 and died April 3, 1925. Minnie was born November 14, 1863 and died October 2, 1958. They are buried in the North Prairie Cemetery. Henry J. and Minnie had three children, Hannah, Bertha, and Waldo.
Waldo served in the U.S.Army during World War 1, and upon his return home he married Anna Krughoff, daughter of Frederick and Anna Krughoff, nee Bartlesmeyer, on September 23, 1919. For a few years they rented and farmed in the North Prairie area. They had two daughters, Winona Anna and Minerva Pearl. After the death of Waldo's father in 1925, he and his family moved on the Brink homestead where he and his wife lived the remainder of their lives. Waldo died on October 28, 1967. Anna died on May 28, 1972, and are buried in the North Prairie Cemetery.
Winona and Minerva now own the original Brink farm. Winona married Elmer J. Huckshold on February 27, 1946, and they have two children, Karl Frederick and Kristine Ann. Elmer died in 1972, and Winona and her children moved to the Brink farm in 1974.
Minerva married William J. Clouser on December 28, 1955, and they have one child, Stephen David. They live in St. Louis, MO.
