                      Media Dentist Was 78

            DR. GEORGE W. HINKSON, 78, 26 E. 3rd St., Media,
        who practiced dentistry in Media and Philadelphia for a
        half century, died Monday in the Smith Nursing Home,
        Media.
            Dr. HINKSON, who was inactive until he retired two
        years ago, suffered a broken hip several weeks ago in a
        fall.
            He was born in Booth's Corner and lived his entire life,
        in Delaware County. Most of his dental practice, however,
        was in Philadelphia where he maintained an office.
            He was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania
        Dental School.
        Civic Minded
            Dr. HINKSON during his more active years took a keen 
        interest in local affairs and from 1922 to 1935 was a member
        of Media Borough Council, the last six years as president.
            In 1935 he made an unsuccessful bid for the Delaware 
        County Board of Commissioners running in the primary as
        a candidate on the Republican Ticket.
            He was son of the late Mr. and Mrs. JOHN M. HINKSON, 
        his mother having been a member of the BOOTH family which 
        gave its name to Booth's Corner and Boothwyn.
            He was a member of George W. Bartram Lodge 298
        F & AM and of Media Fire Co.

        home, Baltimore and Monroe, Media. Funeral services and
        burial will be private.

        and a son, DR. T. EDWIN HINKSON, Wilmington dentist.
