William H. Hinman

Afton Enterprise, January 22, 1903

William H. Hinman was born in the town of Coventry [Chenango Co., NY] in the year 1841, and departed this life at his home near the place of his birth Jan. 16th, 1903.  He leaves to  mourn their loss, a wife and seven children, three daughters, Mrs. Rodney Carl, Mrs. Wm. Pearsall and Miss Reta Hinman and four sons, Ernest of Keeseville, N.Y., William of Kirkwood, N.Y., Edgar of Lincoln, Neb. and Claude late of David City, Neb. they feel their loss most keenly and have the sympathy of a host of friends.  Mr. Hinman was a man of strong character intellectual aggressive and possessed a well disciplined mind.  But the most prominent of all his many characteristics was that of determination, with this saying of St. Paul's "This one thing I do," he was able to marshal all of the other characteristics of his nature, and bring things to pass.  His ideals were high, and he ever sought to bring all his friends up to them (especially his children).  The children may justly feel proud of such a father and counselor, and it is to him they owe much of their success.  It is not saying too much to say that a good citizen, a devoted husband and a loving and self sacrificing father has gone.  His funeral was held from his late residence on Tuesday, Jan. 20th, at 12 o'clock.  The large number of friends and neighbors that attended testified to the high esteem in which he was held in the community.  The services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. C.E. Sweet, interment at Glenwood cemetery, Afton [Chenango Co., NY].

But that he died we only have to show,

The mortal part of him he left below;

The rest so smooth, so peacefully he went,

looked like translation through the firmament
