Joseph A. Link, Jr.

Joseph A. Link, Jr. was born in Cincinnati in 1847, and came to Dayton in 1852.  After attending the public schools, he was engaged in rope-making with his father, and later had a ropewalk above Berry avenue, continuing in the business for many years.  He has been elected city assessor four times in succession, and has done well in that office. 

The GAR (a short history of the organization is at this site) held it's annual encampment in Dayton in September,1898.  All of the Dayton images and texts dated 1898 are from the souvenir booklet prepared for the occasion.
