I have a copy of "Memoirs of the Miami Valley" in three volumes Chicago, R.O.Law Co. 1919-1920 I can find nothing on Gustave Hinkle. Is there another publication by the same title? I would be very appreciative of a copy of the Hinkle references An exact copy and layout of the faceplate of the book is at _http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/memoirs/001-49.html_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/memoirs/001-49.html) . The bio on Gustav Hinkle starts on page 310 of Volume III and continues onto 311. A bio of Benjamin Hinkle begins on page 311 and concludes on 312. The full text of both are at _http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/memoirs/_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/memoirs/) . Gary
