Biography:
The name of Frank HInshaw is one familiar to the residents of Providence Township, Hardin County, as that of a hard-working, energetic, neighborly and accommodating farmer, whose time and toil spent in the cultivation of his fertile farm have brought to him prosperity and a competency. He was born in Indiana in 1854, the son of John Hinshaw and his second wife, Anna (Ratliff) Hinshaw.
John Hinshaw was a native of North Carolina, and at the age of thirty went to Henry County, Indiana, and there engaged in farming, in which he spent his life. For a time he farmed in Howard County, but died in Henry County, aged seventy-four. In politics he was a Republican and served very efficiently as justice of the peace. John Hinshaw was one of nine children of Benjamin and Sarah Hinshaw, who spent their earlier life in North Caroline, and died in Indiana. Anna Ratliff was a native of Indiana, and died in 1860. She bore to Mr. Hinshaw the following children: Nathan, Rebecca Ann, Cynthia, John, Jesse, Sarah, Mary and Frank.
Frank Hinshaw started out for himself at the age of nineteen and worked at various places until he was twenty-eight, when he married Maggie Ratliff, a daughter of David and Lydia (Hutson) Ratliff, who came in 1856 to Hardin County, Iowa, where Mr. Ratliff died October 3, 1908, and his widow died December 17, 1910. Mr. and Mrs. Ratliff were the parents of the following children: John Ratliff, of Hardin County; William, living with Mr. Hinshaw; Margaret, Mrs. Hinshaw, who was born in Hardin County in 1863; Martha, born in 1868, married Samuel Stevenson; Clara, who died at the age of one and one-half years; Nellie, died at the age of eight, and Thomas in infancy.
In 1882, after his marriage, Mr. Hinshaw settle at Liscomb, Marshall County, Iowa, and rented for one year, then spent five years in Concord Township, Hardin County, and thirteen years in Tipton Township. Eight years ago he settled on his present farm in section 16, Providence Township, and here carried on general farming, raising fine Shropshire sheep and other good stock. Since coming to the farm he has erected most of the buildings and improved it in many ways, until it is now of which any man would be proud.
To Mr. and Mrs. Hinshaw bit one child has been born, Clarence, in 1886. They have adopted a son, John, born in 1892, whom they have cared for as their own. Mr. Hinshaw has found farming profitable and as pleasant as could be expected of any occupation, while he is fully aware of the advantages which offset the diminishing drawbacks of farm life. He takes a full share in all the activities of his community.130
