From the NC marker website link below, we learn that Mr. Brinkley came from humble start nearby. He obtained a medical degree from what would now be called a "diploma mill" and became famous as the "Goat Gland King" (yes, look it up). His ownership of KFKB in Milford, Kansas almost resulted in winning that state's governor position.
