SAMUEL LYMAN HINCKLEY TREASURER 1842-1853
He was born in Northampton, the second son of Jonathan Hunt Lyman, but at the request of his grandfather, Judge Samuel Hinckley, whom he had assisted for many years in his extensive law practice, he adopted the latter's name. Mr. Hinckley was a graduate of Williams College and studied law at the Cambridge Law School, was admitted to the bar in Northampton and practiced here for a number of years. He did not care to enter public live, but several positions of trust and responsibility sought him and he filled them with devotion and success. He was president of the Hampshire Mutual Fire Insurance Company, secretary of the Agricultural Society and high sheriff of Hampshire County. He had been active in the effort to obtain a charter for the Northampton Institution for Savings, was a firm believer in the usefulness of such an institution and was deeply interested in its development. He was its first treasurer, and in the early days of its existence when deposits were small and no proper place for safe keeping available, it was said the Mr. Hinckley carried the funds of the bank in his hat.
