Born in Exeter, Tulare County, July 18, 1869, he was one of a family of 12 children, the parents being covered wagon pioneers Hinds/Buckman family of Exeter, Ca. in the 1850's. His Father was Archibald Yell Hinds and his mother Sarah Earsley Buckman.
He was married to Miss Anna M. Clark of San Jose December 22, 1898, at St. Marys in Visalia. Anna had always admired the El Capitan Hotel in Merced that she had seen from the train on her way south to Tulare Co. and expressively asked to stay there for the first nights of their honeymoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Hinds and their family came to Atwater in 1909. Pete Hinds owned and operated the first butcher shop in town. The shop and the one business block here at that time was destroyed by fire a few years after the Hinds family came to Atwater. Later Hinds was engaged in buying and selling cattle. His son, Clark, (my dad) remembers riding on the wagon with his dad to supply beef to the worker s that were erecting the Cressey Bridge between Cressey and Ballico. As of 1993, it has been torn down.
They bought the Atwater Jordon School house. Pete cut it in half and took it to the sight 1501 First Street, using his mules and wagon. The basement they put in was so shallow because that's how far they could dig before they hit water. It filled the hole so they were delayed in the move until it drained and dried. The home is still there today, although it is no longer in the Family Name.
"In the early 1930s Mr. Hinds was appointed constable to fill the unexpired term of E.W. Fulkereth, and was elected for a four year term to that office.
He retired in the 1940s and had lived in his home on First Street for over 36 years. His son-in-law and daughter, John and Aileen Colburn, had lived with and cared for him since the death of his wife Anna.
Pete was a smoker and it affected the circulation in his legs. He lost first one leg and then the other in later life. He spent his last years in a wheelchair, mostly playing solitaire at the table on the front porch. He died at the age of 84 years after a long illness. The funeral services were held in St. Anthony's Catholic Church. Burial followed in Winton cemetery. Rev. Fr. Wm. O'Shea officiated.
