Died - Philip Brack, who would have been 82 years of age next September died at his home on the Middle Fork, April 20, 1910. The funeral was held yesterday and was conducted by Rev. Thos. Barklow. In the death of Philip Brack of the Middle Fork another of the county pioneers have passed away, he having been one of the 2 survivors of the wreck of the Schooner Lincoln which went ashore near the Coos Bay bar in Jan. 1852. The other and now sole survivor of the wreck is Harry H. Baldwin who was at a North Bend hospital the last heard of by Myrtle Point friends. The Lincoln was carrying 35 U. S. Dragoons under the command of Lieutenant Stanton when she was wrecked. After the wreck the soldiers and sailors secured provisions from the boat and from the Indians who were curious about the strange white men. They remained on Coos bay for more than a month then left for Port Orford, which was their destination, joining comrads there, who had given them up as drowned. Mr. Brack remained in Port Orford for 2 years as a dragoon and was in the fight at Big Bend on the Rogue River in which Capt. Tichnor took part. He afterwards came to the Coquille valley locating on the homestead which was his home at the time of his death. Mr. Brack was born in Germany in Sept. 1828. His wife's maiden name was Flora Fredenberg. There are 7 children, 2 sons and 5 daughters: William H., Daniel N., Mahhalia, Susannah R., Mary E., Emma V. and Margaret C.
