From the LeMars Sentinel, Tuesday, December 9, 1924, Page 1, Column 5:

BRIEF ILLNESS PROVES FATAL
George Hinde, Life Long Resident, Succumbs to Attack of Pneumonia
SICK ONLY A FEW DAYS

Following a few days illness George Hinde, a well known farmer of Seney vicinity, died at his home in Elgin township Saturday morning frm pleuro-pneumonia. His death came with startling rapidity--as a week prior to his demise he was in LeMars, apparently in his usual good health.

George Watters (sic--Walters) Hinde lived all his life in this community.
Parents Early Settlers.

He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hinde, who in their lifetime were early settlers near Seney. George was born on a farm five miles northeast of Seney on September 12, 1884, and was 40 years, 2 months and 24 days old. He grew to manhood on the farm assisting in the work and attending the country schools. He was united in marriage with Miss Bessie Mae Butler of LeMars, August 20, 1913, and they farmed southwest of Struble for several years.

Five years ago they bought a farm a mile and a half east of Seney which has been their home since.

He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, four brothers and two sisters, who are: John R. Hinde, Seney; Ralph H. Hinde, of Struble; Thomas W. Hinde, of Forestburg, S. D.; Edward (sic--Edwin) J., of Haxtun, Colo.; Mrs. R. A. Eldridge (sic--I. E. Eldredge), of Rock Valley, and Mrs. D. F. McArthur, of Elgin township. One brother, Richard Hinde, preceded him in death.

Geo. Hinde was a good citizen and neighbor and was well known and liked in a large circle of acquaintances. He was a devoted husband, son and brother, and his sudden death is a great blow to his relatives and friends.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at the Methodist church, Seney, at 2 o'clock, prevailing storm and state of the roads permitting but may be held later dependent on weather conditions.

Rev. A. Z. McGogney will conduct the services and the interment will be made in the LeMars cemetery.
