Was born in Georgetown Beaver Co. Pa. in 1811-Died in Whiteford Township Co., Michigan April 17th 1857 - Bro. Hinds wa converted at a camp meeting held near Petersburg in 1822 and then united with the M.E. Church. Bro. Hinds was a devoted Christian and faithful member of the church for 53 years filling many important offices with credit to himself and profit to the church.
He had a large heart-he gave freely to his means. Was foremost in building churches and parsonages, one of the last benevolent acts of his life was to give liberally of his means to build one of the best brick parsonages in the Central Ohio Converence. His house had been a home for the weary itenerant for many years. His kind and Christian wife was by his side in hthis work of faith and labor of love. He leaves a widdow, 4 sons, 2 daughters to mourn their loss. His sickness was short-his end was peace. He rests from his labors and his works do follow him.

I found this letter at the home of Virginia Hinds Greene and have copied it as near as I could as it was written. I believe that Central Ohio Conference is now known as Lakeside, Ohio.
