Alden A. Tinker, for many years a resident of Lakeport and a printer by trade 
and occupation, passed away at the home of his sister, Mrs. George W. Kiblinger, 
near Upper Lake, Tuesday, December 3, 1918, after a lingering illness lasting 
many months, at the ripe age of 61 years, 6 months and 3 days. 
Mr. Tinker was a native of the Bay State and came West while yet a young man, 
living at Salt Lake City and in Nevada before coming to Lakeport. 
On October 9, 1886 he married Miss Christina McLean, and to this union were born 
two children, Lillie B. and Joseph A. Tinker, who with the widow still survive. 
Most of the years Mr. Tinker spent in Lakeport he was connected with the 
newspapers in some capacity and for a while was editor of The Bee. He was a 
quiet unassuming man and made many warm friends. To know Alden A. Tinker was to 
love him, and many there are who will regret his passing.
