Roeliff Brinkerhoff, Jr., candidate for probate judge is the son of Gen. Brinkerhoff, and was born in this city, Oct. 29, 1864, where he has resided all his life. He attended the public schools of the city and graduated a member of the high school class of 1883. He began his business career by serving a three years' apprenticeship in the Mansfield Savings Bank. At the end of this time he entered the employ of Spencer, Frank & Co., of New York City, and remained with this firm six months. In 1887, Mr. Brinkerhoff was elected a member of the city board of education, for a term of three years and was re-elected in 1890. During his term of service the high school building was built, Mr. Brinkerhoff being chairman of the building committee. Upon his return from New York, he began the study of law and was engaged in an active and successful practice since that time. The last, but not the least, important even in his life was his marriage, June 24, 1896, to Miss Jane F. Oliver, of Steubenville. Mr. Brinkerhoff is a good lawyer and will make an excellent probate judge if elected. Vote for him.
