Rev. Reverend Arthur Hinson was born in Holden, Louisiana, on November 11, 
1906. He served in Judson Baptist Church, Livingston Parish. He died in 
Waycross, Georgia, on July 9, 1990.
He was the son of the late Hiram P. Hinson and Ella Bossena Hinson of 
Louisiana. He received a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from Mercer 
University in Macon, Georgia. In 1937 he met and wed Margaret Stewart of Milan, 
Georgia. After their marriage, they moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where Dr. 
Hinson received his Doctorate in Theology from Southwestern Baptist Theological 
Seminary. Their only child, Arthur Lee Hinson, was born in Fort Worth in 1939. 
During World War II, Mrs. Hinson and her son returned to Milan, Georgia, to 
live with her parents while Dr. Hinson served as chaplain in the European 
Theather. After the war, the family moved to Dallas, Georgia, where Dr. Hinson 
became pastor of the First Baptist Church. 
Following residences in Augusta, Georgia, Anchorage, Alaska, and Moorehead, 
Mississippi, the family moved back to Georgia, where they settled in Tucker in 
1953. Dr. Hinson began work with the Georgia Baptist Convention, where he was 
assistant executive secretary from 1953 to 1969. Dr. Hinson was the first 
associational missionary of the Augusta Association and he was also a retired 
Army Reserve lieutenant colonel.
The family became active in the First Baptist Church of Tucker, Georgia, in 
1953, and Dr. Hinson and his wife remained members of that church until their 
deaths in 1990 and 2001 respectively.
In 1988 Dr. Hinson and his wife moved to Baptist Village in Waycross, Georgia, 
where Dr. Hinson died in 1990. Funeral services were held in Milan Baptist 
Church in Milan, Georgia, and the Reverend Kirkland Neal, one of Dr. Hinson's 
relatives, officiated the service. Reverend Hinson is buried in Milan City 
Cemetery in Milan, Georgia
