Adding special pleasure to the day for Miss Hinshaw were long distance calls from Mrs. Willaim Stanton of Miamisburg, Herbert Painter, Miss Hinshaw's nephew, of Philadelphia, and her niece, Mrs. Helen Painter Frazier of Dayton.

A teacher in Wilmington and Clinton county schools for 45 years, Miss Hinshaw is remembered kindly by a large number of persons, who attended her classes, and who were influenced by her fine principals of life and living.  She started her teaching career at Mt.

The daughter of Garner and Maria Hockett Hinshaw, she was born Jan. 2, 1864 at Westboro, where she spent her childhood days.  She was a birthright member of the Friends Church and devoted to its services as long as her health permitted.
