General Notes: Husband - John Hindman

---

He was reared on the homestead farm, and followed the occupation of a driller and tool dresser for more than twenty years, in connection with agricultural pursuits. He came to Clay township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1885, and settled on the Henry Miller farm, where he resided for over nine years. He and his wife were members of the Lutheran church, and in politics, he was a Democrat.

He was ten years old when his parents moved to Franklin Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and he subsequently went with them to Washington Township, where he continued two or three years thereafter. He then went into the oil fields, working for a period of twenty-three years as driller and tool dresser, being located in Venango County and various other places. For a time he was in partnership with his brother, Thomas, as contractor, and they drilled a great many wells. About 1884, Mr. Hindman took up his residence on the Miller farm, which was the birthplace of his wife, and continued there. He erected a commodious frame house and a substantial barn on the place, and had one of the best improved farms in the neighborhood. He followed general farming and also had a good gas well on the farm.
He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He was a Democrat in politics, and was elected on that ticket to the office of road supervisor. In religious faith he was a Lutheran and a liberal supporter of the church.
