The following obituary appeared in the Hardin County, Iowa newspaper:23
Died, October 30, 1887, William Hinshaw, aged 83 years, 1 month and 26 days.
He was born in Jefferson county Tenn., September 4, 1804. In 1830 he was married to Matilda D. Doane and settled on a farm near New Market, that state. After living there for a period of seven years, he, with his wife and three children, moved to Morgan county, Indiana, settling on a farm near Monrovia. In 1830, [sic] his wife, Matilda, passed to the better land, leaving him with four children. About a year after her death he was married to Nancy Rhodes, who died five years later. She had become the mother of three children, two of whom died in infancy. This left William a widower again and for five years he made the care of his children his sole aim and with the help of his daughter, Mary, he got along reasonably well. In 1849 he moved to Henry county, Iowa, with his four children who were yet living and in the spring of 1850 he was married to Betsy Bond who was then a widow and the mother of five children. After marriage they moved to Keokuk county, where they remained about five years and then came to Hardin county. After living in Hardin county about ten years Betsy died and William remained a widower the rest of his days. He live on a farm in Providence township 32 years or during his stay in Hardin county.
He was a man of more than ordinary physical ability and with the exception of a little rheumatism, was never sick until the time of his death. He was unselfish and always had a good word for everyone, especially those who seemed to be imposed upon. In older days when he heard some one spoken of slightingly he was wont to call him a "fine old body."
Politically he was a Whig until the rise of the Republican party. Since then he has been a staunch Republican, voting the straight ticket and he never failed to be at the polls on election day until the primary this fall.
He had a birthright to the Quaker church, but was expelled at the age of 18 for seeing a couple married outside of the church. Since then he has not been connected with any church though he regularly attended church services and firmly believed in the doctrine of the Bible.
Until he was 75 years old he kept up his two rows in the cornfield with any of his hired hands and no great change was noticed toward decay in life until he was past eighty years and he was able to walk a mile or two until his late sickness.
October 11 he went on the harvest excursion to Beersford, Dakota, where he enjoyed a pleasant visit with some of his grandchildren. He returned after visiting a week in apparently as good health as when he went away and was full of life, telling what a pleasant time he had had.
In a few day after his return he was taken sick and from the first he seemed to know that it was time to go. The evening before his death he remarked to his daughters that "he would soon be to the end of the row." He was sick just seven days, passing away early Sunday morning.
He has four children living, Thomas Hinshaw, Joseph Hinshaw, Lucinda Hadley, wife of S. S. Hadley, and Nancy Woodward, wife of Newton Woodward. All of them except Joseph who lives in Kansas, are living in Providence township, this county.
The funeral exercises were conducted by Rev. Jones of the Quaker church in Chester district.
The following was extracted from a letter by William's grandson, William Wade Hinshaw, to his daughter, Anne, dated December 25, 1937:11
