Gustav Zink was born July 26, 1869 in Germany. He came to America and first settled in Wisconsin, but came to Foster County in 1887 because his brothers Peter and Wendelin were here.
He homesteaded on the Northeast 1/4 of Section 28, in Rose Hill Township.
On April 11, 1899, he united in marriage with Anna Lettner. Anna was born in Wisconsin in 1873.
The couple had 6 children: Andrew, Oscar, Lawrence, Henry, Harold and Hazel.
The farm was later farmed by a son Harold; now his son, Richard, lives on the farm.
Mrs. Zink died October 6, 1956. Mr. Zink died May 20, 1957. They are buried at Carrington.
