Description in the Lisbon Historical Society Building: "This clock is donated to the Lisbon Historical
Society in memory of my Mother, Ada (Brinker)Holloway. The clock was brought to the Lisbon area from Westmoreland Co., Pa.
in 1807 by Andrew Brinker. It was in the homes of Brinkers for five generations. In 1960 it was given to me by the late Wm.(Ted)Brinker,
my Mother's younger brother. By 1961, I had completely restored the clock and it has kept excellent time ever since. It is
hoped that by the clock being put to rest in the old Stone House Museum it will be visited by the many local descendants of
the early Brinker family. Walter L. Holloway, Columbus, Ohio.
