James' obituary was published as follows:10
James M. Hinshaw, son of Jesse and Hannah Hinshaw was b. Oct 17, 1831 in Pennsylvania Township, Parke Co In near Annapolis on the farm that his father entered in 1828 where he spent all of his life and where he died October 5, 1914, aged 83 years 11 months 19 days. On the farm he engaged himself in the toil and hardships of helping clear and improve the land. He believed in aggression and progression and development but was himself a mediocre not so swift but sure. Early in life he established the blessed boon of a Christian life, uniting with the UB Church at the Old Cross Roads Church at age 18. Jacob Kenoyer was pastor and Andy Wimsett evangelist. Later when said church was abandoned and a new church built in Annapolis Mr. Hinshaw took membership there until it was abandoned when he placed his membership in the Marshall UB Church, holding membership there at his death. He was united in marriage to Emily Morgan, daughter of Kenchen and Sarah Morgan, Jan 25, 1855. Rev Ira Mater officiating. Of this union no children were born but they took in their home Miss Chloe Barker whom they cherished and loved as their own. On December 3, 1895, the shadows of death gathered about the home and in the evening, when the wings of night kissed away the sunlight of day, the death angel called and sister Emily Hinshaw answered the summons of leaving hearts sad and the home lonely. After sister Hinshaw's death, Miss Barker assumed the cares and responsibility of the home, doing what she could to make it pleasant for her uncle until his death. As to his education, it was limited. He was self made, stern and did what was right from conviction and duty. In his affliction he was patient and enduring, often expressing himself as being ready to die. So we trust our loss is his eternal gain. Reluctantly we say farewell, but cherish the hope in that brighter cloudless morning we may meet again. Funeral services were held at the ME Church, Annapolis Wed Oct 7 at 10 o'clock, Rev O. P. Cooper officiating, assisted by rev Shrigley of Marshall and Rev M. F. Sherrill of Annapolis. Music was furnished by Mrs. Clara Chamness, Mrs. Ruth Anderson, Frank and John Coffin, and Mrs. Mayme Stanley organist. Pallbearers were old friends of Mr. Hinshaw.
