Tinnie Mae Hunt McGinty
May 15, 1895
Sept 15, 1970


Additional Comments:
Wiley Patterson McGinty, Sr., married Tinnie Mae Hunt on November 23, 1932. 
Rev. Basil B. McGinty performed the ceremony at his residence. Tinnie Mae’s 
father was George David Hunt, the “Grand Old Man” of the Congregational 
Christian Churches in AL. He served as pastor of Beulah Church for fifty years. 
Her mother was Winnie Ann Vickers. The 1910 census shows Tinnie Mae living with 
her parents in Tallapoosa Co., AL. The 1930 census shows her boarding in the 
home of Ann E. Fargason in Beat 13, Chambers Co. Tinnie Mae taught in the area 
for years. She had received her home economics degree from Auburn University. 
Tinnie Mae was appointed postmaster of River View in 1943, replacing her uncle, 
Manly M. Hunt who had been postmaster since 1905.  She retired from this 
position on July 31, 1962. She loved to paint and some of her landscapes were 
proudly displayed in the homes of her nieces and nephews. In the 1950’s, Tinnie 
Mae, and Wiley, did some commendable McGinty family research, using the limited 
resources that were available to them at the time. Tinnie Mae was 
affectionately called "Mother" by some of Wiley's children, including my 
father, Wiley, Jr.  Tinnie Mae passed away on September 15, 1970.  Her obituary 
was in The Valley Times-News, Wednesday, September 16 (pg. 7).
