Odell (1916) HOWARD D. HINKLE. No county in the entire state of Indiana presents a more prosperous list of agriculturists, all things considered, than that of Carroll county, the history of whose citizens ought to serve as an inspiration to those whose ambitions have remained unrealized, either for the lack of sufficient stamina to forge forward until the light of success dawns forth, or for their failure to take the necessary observation of how and when to act. Howard D. Hinkle, a farmer, was born on January 1, 1869, in Washington township, and is a son of John and Mary (Husser) Hinkle. He was the youngest of the family and was reared on a farm and obtained his education by attending school during the winter, his summers being spent in assisting his father with the farm work until he was twenty-one years of age, when he began farming for himself. At the time of his marriage he bought a farm from his father-in-law, to which he has continued to add purchases until he acquired his present fine farm, known as the "Water-Elm and Burr-Oak Farm," consisting of two hundred acres, which is located two miles south of Clymers, Indiana Politically, Mr. Hinkle is a Democrat. Howard D. Hinkle was united in marriage with Ellen Mahoney on October 27, 1897. She is a daughter of Michael and Catherine (Ryan) Mahoney, and was born in Washington township, Indiana, December 27, 1870, and was educated in the public schools of that township. To Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle have been born two children, Veda, a student at the Holy Angels Academy of Logansport, Indiana, and Robert, a student in the public schools. Mr. Hinkle is one of the most energetic and industrious agriculturists of Washington township, where he is also one of the most prosperous and efficient men in his line of business.
