Samuel B. HINKLE eldest son of Jeremiah and Angeline VanCleave Hinkle, was born Nov 18, 1849 in Montgomery County, Indiana and died July 13, 1924 at the age of 74 years 7 months and 25 days. His entire life was spent on the farm where he was born. He was industrious and in every way honest and neighborly with his fellow men. Whatever was due to honest industry was justly his to have. In the benefits to be derived from honest possession he was unselfish, willing that what were his blessings should be the blessings of others. Misfortunes and losses which he may have sustained were not due to departure from just principles, but to conditions unfriendly to his honest ambitions. His labors began and ended on the same farm. He was a member of the IOOF and K of P and of Horse Thief Detective Association. In these relations with his brethren he prove himself worthy of the confidence reposed in him and in his absence will he missed while in the virtue of his devotion he still lives. he is survived by an aged aunt, Mrs. Amanda Wood of Morton; four nephews, BE Hinkle; WI Hinkle; R Earl and HS Thompson; two nieces, Mrs. Hollen Cohee and Mrs. Lillian Baker who lived with him, five grand nephews and four grand nieces.
