The Rev. Thomas Henry Sinex, D.D., known to all the old residents and Methodists of New Albany, died at his home at Pacific Grove, California, on February 1st, 1898, of heart disease, of which he had suffered for several months.
He leaves a wife and one daughter, Mrs. A. E. Gray, of Philadelphia. He was the son of Thomas Sinex, a pioneer of New Albany, and a brother of Dr. William G. Sinex, residing near the city, and Mrs. Maria Collins, widow of Judge Collins, of Salem.
Thomas Henry Sinex was born in New Albany, Ind., January 4, 1824. He received his rudimentary education at the public schools of his native town, afterward attending the academy, where he prepared for College. He entered the Asbury University (now DePauw University) at Greencastle, Ind., in 1839, and having gained a year on his class, was graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1842. He was subsequently honored by his alma mater with the degrees of A. M. and D. D.
Having spent nearly a year in the study of law, he entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church, and in his twentieth year joined the Indiana Conference. In that State he filled several pastorates, and was also professor in Asbury University and the Asbury Female College at New Albany. From 1854 to 1864 he was president of the Albion Wesleyan Seminary.
In 1864 he was a member of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, and was transferred from Michigan to California. Here he served three years as pastor in Santa Clara, and was then elected president of the University of the Pacific, and remained at its head until 1872, when he resigned and took the chair of mathematics. It was during his administration that the institution became a college of liberal arts. In 1894 he was appointed superintendent of the Christian Seaside Resort at Pacific Grove.
He built the large Methodist Episcopal church and assembly hall at Pacific Grove, and was the promoter of many other public improvements. He had also been presiding elder of the Stockton district and pastor of the Bush street Methodist Church in San Francisco.
