Mildred M. Hinshaw

When Mildred was born there was a contention as to her middle name, Mary, May or Martha. Her father registered her as Mildred M. Hinshaw, with only the middle initial M. He told her that she could decide later what middle name she wanted. Mildred was so tickled at the story that she decided "M." alone would suit her fine.²

Mildred was shown in the 1930 census (Apr 10 1930), living (or staying) with her grandmother at 623 North B Street, Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa:⁴

Mildred graduated from Oskaloosa high school and attended William Penn College where she majored in Business and Religious Education. Later she moved to California.²

Mildred served as den mother and later as Girl Scout leader. In 1951 she was elected to the school board in Fair Oaks and served 2 terms.²

Pete and Mildred were charter members of the Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church. They were sponsors of the Westminster Youth Fellowship for 8 years. Mildred directed the youth choir until they disbanded to join the Chancel Choir. Mildred also sang in the Chancel Choir and sang for many Weddings and Funerals.
