Centralia Sentinel 1940
"Centralia Woman Recalls Wilhelm as a Prince of 7"
The world will remember former Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany as a regal, stern-faced monarch, but in the memory of Mrs. Minnie Brink, 92-year-old Centralia resident, he will live as a fair-haired handsome child of 7 who frequented a German hotel where she was employed.
It has been 75 years since Mrs. Brink saw the child whose father was then Crown Prince of Germany. She was 17, 10 years his senior. That was in 1866, only a year before she came to this country.
Although Mrs. Brink speaks English, her native German for her expresses more easily memories of the late kaiser. It was in German, translated by a relative, that she told of the child's memorable visits to the hotel.
Extremely popular
"The hotel was at Berchkirchen. When the boy was there those of us who worked there of course stood in the background. He always was accompanied by a large retnue of nurses, servants and bodyguards.
The youth was extremely popular with the people. A perfect gentleman he was unusually polite. He always made his headquarters at the hotel when he was in that area. For that reason other people made it a habit to stop there -- just to see the boy."
In later years Mrs. Brink knew of the Kaiser only from newspaper accounts in this country. As he ascended to the most important post in Germany to become head of the mightiest military machine of his day, the one time serving girl was living in the New Minden and Hoyleton areas.
Came here at 18
At the age of 18 as Minnie Munneg, she came to America and made the trip from Germany to New Minden in the then remarkable time fo three weeks. The ocean trip was made on a sailing ship.
At New Minden she lived with a brother before her marriage to Ernest Brink who was killed 44 years ago in a cyclone at Irvington.
For the last several years Mrs. Brink has made her home here with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tieman at 625 S. Poplar St. She has several other children including Mrs. Otto Saul, Mrs. Jess Reeves, Miss Clara Brink and Ed Brink, all of Centralia, August and Charles Brink of Irvington, Mrs. Minnie Buchotz of Hoyleton and Mrs. Earl Tharp of _____________?, Missouri.AUGUSTE married BRINK ERNST HEINRICH JOHANN on 23 Jan 1868.
