MRS FRED HINKLEY
OF RIGGINS PASSES

Riggins (Special) – Mrs. Fred Hinkley, 68, who came west with her parents in a 
covered wagon drawn by oxen, succumbed at her home here Saturday after an 
illness of several months.  She recently had undergone treatments at Council 
Hospital.
  Mrs. Hinkley, who was born Myrtle M. Lyons at Bentonsville, Ark., December 
13, 1886, came west when a child.  The family trekked to central Idaho, 
locating at Cottonwood.
  She married at Cottonwood to Dick Tipton in 1906.  The young couple moved to 
Slate Creek on Salmon River and resided there until 1918, when they moved to 
Riggins, to the location now known as North Riggins.  They resided there 14 
years until Mr. Tipton’s death in 1934.
  She married May 2, 1945 to Fred Hinkley of Riggins.  Mrs. Hinkley’s death is 
mourned by a host of friends who knew her well during her nearly half a 
century residence on Salmon River.
  Besides her husband at Riggins, she is survived by two stepsons, Claude 
Hinkley of Cottonwood and Clifford Hinkley of Lewiston; two sisters, Mrs. 
Laura Sabin and Mrs. Minnie Satron, both of Whitefish, Mont., and several 
nieces and nephews.
  Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Assembly of God church 
at Riggins, with the Rev. Mr. Jamieson officiating.  Mrs. Gene LeBoeuf and 
Mrs. Dock Nail sang hymns, accompanied by Mrs. Willis.
  Burial was at Riggins Cemetery.  The Robertson Funeral Home of Grangeville 
had charge of services.
