The Ionia Daily Standard, Saturday, August 16, 1902


The first news of the morning to be disseminated over the city, was of the 
death of Nelson Hinds, the well-known blacksmith and G.A.R. veteran, which 
occurred at 3 o’clock this morning.  Mr. Hinds had complained for several days 
of pains and a depressed feeling which was diagnosed as a stomach trouble, but 
death was not anticipated.  He was on the streets of the city as late as four 
o’clock yesterday afternoon. 

Deceased was a son of Leander Hinds, one of the earliest settlers of northern 
Ionia county.  The father died early in the boy’s life, and deceased spent 
nearly all the years from his twelfth anniversary until he enlisted in the 
civil war, as a member of the family of John B. Welch.  Few men in the county 
had a wider acquaintance than “Nel.” Hinds.  His age was about 63.

The good wife preceded him to the realm of rest some two years, and of the 
immediate family there are left four children—two sons and two daughters: John 
B. L. of Kankakee, Ill., and Theodore of this city, and Nellie and Mary, who 
also lived at home.

The funeral arrangements are not yet announced.
