PIN H. HYNSON, planter, Alexandria, La.  Mr. Hynson was born in the house
where he now resides in Rapides Parish on April 21, 1853, and is a son or
Robert C. and Mary (Hunter) Hynson.  He attended school for a year in St.
Louis, but the principal part of his education was received in Louisiana,
having attended school in New Orleans for two years, and the Louisiana
State University for three years.  Of the seven living children born to his
parents he is sixth in order of birth.  After leaving school in 1872, he
began planting on the place where he now resides, the homestead of the old
Hynson plantation, and here he has continued ever since.  He was married in
1885 to Miss Sallie Brady, who became his wife on September 22, of that
year.  Her father, John C. Brady, was born in Ireland and came to New
Orleans when a young man.  He married Miss Sallie Lacy, mother of Mrs.
Hynson, at Bayou Sara, and was at the time engaged on a steamboat on the
Mississippi River, as captain.  Mrs. Brady was born in Albany, N. Y., and
when a child removed with her parents to Louisiana.  Pin H. Hynson is a
public spirited man, and is always ready to help a deserving cause.  He is
a member of the K. of P., at Alexandria, and the A. O. U. W., Pelican Lodge
No. 16, of Alexandria.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Hynson are members of the
Episcopal Church.
