Biographical / Historical

George Burch Hinman (1857-1931) was born in London; soon after his birth, his family immigrated to Canada, and later moved to Knoxville, Tennessee. In 1888 Hinman moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Two years later he married Cara Farnsworth (1862-1952), with whom he had five children: William (1895-1917); Ruth (1897-1975); Dorothy (1899-1986); Virginia (1904-1905); and Cara (1907-1996). Hinman worked as an engineer on public buildings and factories in Atlanta. In addition, he was a member of St. Luke’s Epsicopal Church for over forty years, serving as chairman of the building committee and as superintendent of St. Luke’s Sunday School for fifteen years. He was also a church vestryman, lay leader, and a leading member of the Christian Council, which organized an “evangelism drive” in Atlanta in 1930.

Bias in Description Note

As archivists, we acknowledge our role as stewards of information. We choose how individuals and organizations are represented and described in our archives. We are not neutral, and bias is reflected in our descriptions, which may not accurately convey the racist or offensive aspects of collection materials. Archivists make mistakes and might use poor judgment. In working with this collection, we often re-use language used by the former owners of the material. This language provides context but often includes bias and prejudices reflective of the time in which it was created. The Kenan Research Center’s work is ongoing to implement reparative language where Library of Congress subject terms are inaccurate and obsolete.

Kenan Research Center welcomes feedback and questions regarding our archival descriptions. If you encounter harmful, offensive, or insensitive terminology or descriptions, please let us know by emailing reference@atlantahistorycenter.com. Your comments are essential to our work to create inclusive and thoughtful description.
