Haxtun Harvest, Haxtun, Colorado, August 11, 1943
William Frederick Hinze was born April 2, 1871 in Madison County, Illinois. When he was three years old his parents moved on a farm near Deshler, Nebraska and later when he was fourteen they moved to Thomas County, Kansas, where he grew to manhood.

On October 25, 1894 he was married to Emmaline Hackenberg. This union was blessed with one daughter, Mrs. Mary Lengel, who with her husband and four children are present.

In the early years of their marriage life they lived on a farm near Davenport, Nebraska. On New Year's Day of 1915 they arrived in Haxtun and took up their abode on a farm east of town, and later on a farm south of town where he continued to lived for a period of fourteen years.

When a young man he was confirmed in the German Lutheran church and soon after his marriage he united with the Church of the Brethren in which faith he continued until his death.

In the early days of the church in this community, he, with his wife, was active in Sunday school and church work. He served as Sunday school superintendent for a number of years when the Brethren held services in a school house west of Haxtun. He was always ready and eager to serve and found much joy therein. In his later years he often called to mind these early experiences and took much comfort in the thought of having thus served his Lord.

In 1932 his wife was taken by death and in the following years her place in the home as housekeeper was taken by his sister, Mrs. Etta Ritzen, and his niece, Miss Mary Henninger.

In 1939 he left the old home and went to Burlington, Colorado. Later he moved to Orange, California where he has since lived with a nephew and a niece, Henry and Henrietta Hinze.

On July 31, 1943 he passed away after a short illness, at the age of 72 years, 3 months and 29 days. His body was shipped from Orange, California to Haxtun, Colorado to be interred by the side of the body of his wife.

Beside the sorrowing daughter and family, he leaves one sister, Mrs. Etta Ritzen of Bremerton, Washington; nieces, nephews, and a host of other relatives and friends.

He was a kind and loving father and friend, loved by all who knew him. Always willing to help others in time of need, his sudden passing will bring sadness to his many friends but they will ever retain kindly memories of this good man.

HE IS NOT DEAD
I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is dead. He is just away.
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,
He has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be since he lingers there.
And you - O you, who the wildest yearn
For the old-time step and glad return -
Think of him fairing on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here.
Think of him still as the same, I say.
He is not dead - he is just away

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to take this means of thanking our relatives and many friends for their kind hospitality, floral offerings, and also the singers, and sympathy at the time of the death of our loved ones. - Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lingel and Family, Mr. and Mrs. F.F. Kinzie and Family, Mary Henninger
