Aaron Brinkerhoff, at one time a
resident of this city, died at his home in
Brooklyn on Wednesday. Mr. Brinkerhoff
was born in Sempronius N. Y., in
1817. He kept a dry goods store in Skaneateles
from 1849 to 1852. Subsequently
he was paying teller of the Salt Spring
Bank at Syracuse. He went to Brooklyn
in 1854, and was engaged in the wholesale
notion business in New York. Mayor
Powell appointed him Deputy Comptroller
in 1875, and he was appointed to that
position by Comptrollers Semlerand Burrill.
For a short time he was Register of
Rates. He was nominated by the Democratic
party for Comptroller in 1882, and
was elected by 9,000 majority over Alexander
Forman, Republican. He was renominated
against Garret Bergen, Republican,
in 1885, and was re-elected. When,
two years later, Walter L. Livingston
was elected Comptroller, Mr. Brinkerhoff
was appointed deputy. After the
death of Mr. Livingston, which occurred
within a year after his election, Mayor
Chapin appointed Mr. Brinkerhoff to fill
the unexpired term of his predecessor.
Comptroller Jackson retained him as his
deputy. The deceased was a life long
Democrat. He had been confined to his
home for the past two months with a low
form of typhoid malarial fever. About
two years ago, while crossing Fulton
street, he was knocked down by a passing
horse car and severely injured. He never
fully recovered from the effects of the
shock he then sustained. He leaves a
widow and three children.
