biographical sketch for what appears to be Evelyn/Eveline Zink's father, George Zink,
farmer, Sec. 20: P.O. Verona; was born in 1844, a native of Pennsylvania, and a son of
Jacob Zink and Sarah Graver; came to Wisconsin in the spring of 1846, and located in
Verona. In 1869, he was married to Miss Mary Black, of Verona, by whom he has three
children --- William S., born Feb 1, 1874; George H., born Sept 5, 1877; Eveline B., born
June 5, 1880. The family belong to the Presbyterian Church of Verona; in politics, he is
a Republican. Mr Zink has a beautiful farm of 200 acres, situated on the Sugar River,
worth $30 per acre, with first-class improvements. Mr Zink never has sought office, but
has held school offices in the district, and always taken an interest in all public
affairs for the good of the town; he is one of the oldest settlers in the town, and a
