Biographical Sketch of Mary L. Hindman
This biographical sketch will help us contextualize Mary's diary entries, hopefully filling in the gaps and bringing the diary to life for modern readers. Most of the genealogical information was found at Find-a-Grave.com. Find-a-Grave has proven extremely helpful, but I've found several errors, such as not listing William Stanley Hindman as Mary's son.
This biographical sketch will evolve over time as errors are corrected and I learn more about Mary and her family.
Happy reading!
