The following biographical sketch of Uriah A. Hinshaw was written by gg-grandson Greg Hinshaw:7
Uriah A. Hinshaw was born on the Hinshaw Farm on what was once Hinshaw Road in Washington Township, Randolph County, Indiana on January 16, 1852. He was a son of Jacob B. and Mary M. (Carter) Hinshaw. He was raised on the farm and attended the common schools. A family history recounted the following of the school were Uriah Hinshaw got his first education: The school was taught by Uriah's aunt, Miriam Carter Mullen. Uriah related this incident:
It [the school house] stood on the southwest corner where the roads now cross just east of Snow Hill station. The building consisted of one room about 18 x 20 of round logs with no loft or ceiling, with a huge fire place occupying almost the entire end of the building, with split slab or puncheon seats with no backs, a rough plank laid on wood pins driven in the wall, for a writing desk; greased paper was at first used instead of glass windows. The pupils who were fortunate enough to be able to take writing would take their turn standing at the plank where the "school master" would give instructions in the use of quill pens. The house had but one door which swung on wooden hinges and was fastened when shut with a wooden latch, hence the old phrase, "no one could get in if the latch string was not out". The building had a clapboard roof and a stick and clay chimney. Though Uriah was first educated in this schoolhouse, most of his education was in the school at Vinegar Hill, one mile south of Snow Hill Station.
It was near the beginning of his first term, and his Aunt Miriam was the teacher. Shortly after the "Books" one morning a big wagon went along the road or rather through the woods where the road now is, and as it was so unusual to see or hear a big wagon jolting over roots and stumps all present were anxious to see it. Uriah, being one of the little ones, ran to the window endeavoring to see out. The teacher said, "Ude, if you are bound to see that wagon you had better open the door and go out," whereupon he ran to the door, lifted the latch, and went out. At the age of twenty-one, Uriah began teaching school, and, the next year, purchased fifty-acres of land in Jay County, Indiana. Before the close of that year, however, he traded his land in Jay County for an eighty-acre farm on 500 S in Washington Township, Randolph County. Only about ten or twelve acres of the land were improved when he bought the farm, and he spent much time improving the land. In 1872 he was licensed to teach in Randolph County. He taught at Greensfork Township No. 12 in 1872-73, Washington Township No. 1 in 1873-74, and Washington Township No. 5 in 1874-1875.
Uriah marred Mary Elizabeth Baldwin, also a native of Washington Township, on April 4, 1874. In September, 1878, their home was destroyed by fire and nearly everything was lost. Uriah carried no insurance at the time. He soon rebuilt a smaller house. In 1882 Uriah's biography and a lithograph of his house were recorded in the "History of Randolph County, Indiana" by Ebenezer Tucker. Uriah and Mary Elizabeth had four children: Leary Alberta, Willimetta Ethel, Tully Ivanhoe, and Orval Oakley. Uriah was a staunch Republican, though not active in any major elective office. He was a charter member of the "Hawthorne Regulators," a para-law enforcement group on June 24, 1887.
Uriah, raised a Methodist, joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in March 1873. In January 1888 he and Mary Elizabeth joined the Martindale Friends Church, near their home, where they were active members. Mary Elizabeth died on March 17, 1896 and is buried in the Buena Vista Cemetery, near their son, Leary. Uriah married Charlotte (Skiver) Moore, a daugher of Adam and Margaret Skiver and widow of Albert Moore, on June 28, 1900. Uriah and Charlotte got their first telephone in 1901. The number was suburban line 340-D. In 1903 Uriah purchased a new farm on Base Road, just south of 400 S and sold his previous farm. In 1905 Uriah was elected Road Supervisor of District 1 in Washington Township. He served for one year. In 1904 Uriah and his son, Orval, transferred their church membership to White River Monthly Meeting (Rural Friends Church). Uriah was a major force behind the reorganization of Rural Union Church into Rural Friends Church in 1904. He was named superintendent of the Sunday School in 1904. He was appointed an overseer in 1904. He was appointed elder and head of the meeting in 1905. He held that position until he resigned his membership. Uriah and Charlotte were released from membership at Rural Friends Church in 1911 at their request. The reason for this is not clear. Charlotte died on August 23, 1914 and is buried in the Mount Zion Cemetery. When Charlotte died, her funeral was conducted by W. O. Bales, a Christian Church minister, and "a Saints minister of Jackson Township."
Uriah sold a nearby farm (NE NE 17-19-14) to his son Orval in 1914. He sold another (Pt. W 1/2 NW 2-19-14) to Daniel L. Moore on July 26, 1918, another 40 acres (SE SE 8-19-14) to Henry Weimer on January 24, 1922, and the last 80 acres (W 1/2 NW 16-19-14) to Otho Retter on April 7, 1923.
Uriah married a third time to Asenath (Reynolds) Baldwin, the widow of George Baldwin, on January 15, 1916. Uriah once again joined Rural Friends Church in 1916 by request. Asenath joined at the same time by certificate from Springfield Monthly Meeting in Wayne County. They were both faithful members until death. Uriah purchased an automobile in May 1917. Uriah served as correspondent of White River Monthly Meeting of Friends from 1922 until his death. He also served on the Evangelism and Church Extension Committee of Winchester Quarterly Meeting from 1920 until 1922. He and Asenath also taught Sunday School at Rural Friends. A daughter-in-law, Goldie Hinshaw, was a Quaker pastor. A great-grandson, Warren Short, was a Quaker missionary to Kenya, East Africa. Uriah retired from farming in 1920. He and his son, Tully, sold their farm equipment in an auction on October 14, 1920.
In September 1922, Uriah and Asenath moved to the village of Rural, across from the Friends Church. Uriah purchased the property from Delmar Platt on March 22, 1922. Uriah fell on September 11, 1929, while leaving prayer meeting at Rural Friends Church, and broke his hip. This confined him to a wheelchair. He died on October 10, 1933 at the age of eighty-one. Funeral services were held at Rural Friends Church under the direction of Rev. Luther E. Addington. Uriah is buried in the Buena Vista Cemetery beside his first wife and son Leary. Asenath outlived Uriah and later married Elmer Jennings. She died in 1951 and is also buried at Buena Vista.
