Charles A Rinker

THE FLAGLER TRIBUNE
Bunnell, Florida
Thursday, September 19, 1929

While assisting Mr. A. G. Thompson at Espanola in ripping lumber on a small portable saw, Charles Rinker was injured so seriously about four o'clock this afternoon that he died a short time later. A piece of the timber being ripped was thrown by the saw, and the wood striking Mr. Rinker and producing a wound of the throat which resulted in his death.

Soon after the accident the deceased was brought to Bunnell where Dr. L. A. Carter rendered medical assistance, he advising that the injured man be carried to a hospital for surgical treatment. The injured man was placed in an automobile preparatory to making the trip but died within a few minutes after he entered the car.

Mr. Rinker was born in Streator, Illinois, having moved to Espanola seven years ago where he made his home. He was one of the most progressive farmers of the Bimini section of this county.

The body was turned over to Carl Davis, undertaker, of Palatka, who will prepare it for shipment to the former home of the deceased.

Mr. Rinker was 61 years old and is survived by two sisters and a brother, both of whom reside in middle Western states.

RINKER DEATH IS CAUSED BY CIRCULAR SAW.

J. C. Rinker, Oak Park, Ill., who is settling the estate of his brother, Charles Rinker, at Espanola, Fla., has written a letter to the Times-Press, in which he explains the manner in which his brother met his death, which occurred several weeks ago. It will be remembered Mr. Rinker was brought north for burial, interment occurring in the Ransom cemetery.

"Mr. Rinker was assisting a neighbor in sawing lumber, using a circular saw. A piece of the timber, a 2x2x14, being ripped, was struck and thrown endwise, striking him on the throat, bursting the windpipe and arteries. He was knocked down by the blow but arose at once saying that he was not badly hurt.

He got into his car, and was driven to the office of Dr. Carter of Bunnell, where he walked up the stairs unassisted. The doctor worked over him for about thirty minutes and then advised that he be taken to the hospital at Daytona Beach.

He was assisted downstairs and into a car but almost at once began gasping for breath, and in a few minutes passed away.

A post-mortem examination revealed that there was no possibility of saving his life.

Charles C. Rinker was born in Chicago, October 4, 1863 (Stone has 1866?) and moved from there when a child to a farm in Brookfield Township where he grew up. In 1917 he removed to Espanola, Fla., where he bought a farm and lived there until his death.

In December 1901, he was married to Miss Ida Luella Jolly of Evansville, Ind., who died Nov. 20, 1908. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. C. S. Miller of Oklahoma City, one brother, J. C. Rinker of Oak Park, Ill., and niece Miss Mabel Smalley, four nephews, and several other relatives. He was highly spoken of in the community where he lived, as being one of the most progressive farmers of that section of the country."
