Portland Observer, 26 Aug 1903

The community was shocked to learn last Monday morning that Mrs. Mary Hinman, 
widow of the late Sidney S. Hinman, had died very suddenly at about nine 
o’clock Sunday evening.  She was about the house during the day Saturday and no 
one in the family thought she was even seriously ill until a very short time 
before she died.  Congestion of the lungs is given as the cause of the sudden 
taking off.

Mary Perrigo was born near Brunswick, N.J., March 13, 1834, and was 
consequently a little past 69 years of age at the time of her death.  When she 
was quite young her parents moved to Palmyra, and here she grew to young 
womanhood and married S.S. Hinman, who died several years ago, and who was for 
many years a leading carriage and wagon manufacturer of Portland.

Mr. and Mrs. Hinman came to Portland in the spring of 1857, and Mr. Hinman 
built the house where they both died and where all their children were born and 
grew to manhood and womanhood.  Deceased is survived by Dr. C.V. Hinman of 
Bellaire, Mich.; Mrs. Fred’k. T. Boles of Chicago, who, with her children, was 
at the parental home when death came; Mrs. W. H. Roberts of Bemidji, Minn., 
together with a brother, J.S. Perrigo and a sister, Mrs. E.C. Fox, and a 
granddaughter, Miss Esther Hinman, who had made her home with her grandmother 
for a number of years, and who had in Mrs. Hinman a mother as well as a 
grandmother, and a loving, kind and indulgent one beside.

The funeral services will be held at the house Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock, 
as it will be impossible for Mrs. Roberts to reach Portland before Wednesday 
noon.  Services will be conducted by Rev. Stevens of the Congregational church, 
of which deceased had long been a member, Mr. Stevens returning from his 
vacation visit near New Buffalo to perform the last sad rites.
