Hi Margaret,
Thank-you for passing on the information about Conrad and Lillie. Are you
related to Lillie Ward? From what I have received from the local newspaper
of that time, Conrad was a prominent businessman in the community and Humboldt
County. At some point, all of the Hinkey brothers left the area. The story
is that they put all of their assets into cattle and sold them for a good
price then left the area...My Great Grandfather, Antone Hinkey, was Conrad's
brother. Antone married Emily Jane 'Jennie' Denio. She was the daughter
of Aaron Denio for whom the town of Denio is named. Antone and Jennie used
their share of the money to open the first hotel in Nampa, Idaho-The Commercial
Hotel.
Have not found any info on where Conrad went or anything about children.
One branch of the family ended up in Canada but descendants have come back
into America and are living in the Pacific Northwest.
If you have any additional information on the Hinkey brothers or their
wives and families, would appreciate a copy. Would be glad to share the
information I have collected. Can do the information exchange in any format
you prefer via computer or mail.
Thanks again for passing on the information.
Best Regards,
Randy Jones
