Notes:  Thomas Maurice Hinton, 25, and Wilhelmina Barbara Walker, 24, were married 5 October 1898, in the Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah.  Elder John R. Winder officiated.
In the 1900 U.S. census, Thomas and his wife Wilhelmina were living in Hinckley, Millard, Utah.  Enumerated as Morris in this census, Thomas was a carpenter, and they owned their house free of mortgage.  They had a daughter Vera, 9 months, born 14 Aug 1899 in Millard County, Utah.  Thomas was a section hand for the Union Pacific Railroad, and Wilhelmina cooked for the men.  As such they moved around Utah and Nevada, including Black Rock, Eureka, and Salt Lake City where Thomas did carpenter work.  The Salt Lake City, Utah, City Directory, 1904 lists Thomas M. Hinton as a carpenter, residing at 2 Goddard's Ct. In 1905 the family moved to Virgin, Utah, Thomas' home town.  Two more children had been added to the family, both born in Hinckley, according to family records.  These were Maurice Vernet, born 27 Mar 1902, and Elma, born 26 Jul 1904. Thomas and Wilhelmina moved to Hurricane, Washington, Utah in 1906.  The history sources note that "Mr. and Mrs. Thomas M. Hinton became the first residents of Hurricane when they occupied the bench in 1906." First, Thomas built a granary and home for Thomas Isom.  Then he built the family home, located at 199 North and 200 West, Hurricane.  Lela was born 10 Dec 1907.  Her birth certificate reports her name as Areta, and birthplace as Hinckley, Millard, Utah. In the 1910 U.S. census, Thomas and Wilhelmina were living in Hurricane, Washington, Utah.  Thomas was a house carpenter.  They had been married 11 years and Wilhelmina had had five children, all of whom were then living.  The children were Vera, 10, in school, Vernet, 8, Elma, 5, Lela, 2, and the baby, Lucille, born 9 Apr 1910. Two more children were added to the family:  Jay Louis, born 24 Sep 1913, and Francis Clemons, born 20 Apr 1917.  When Thomas registered for the World War Draft, he listed himself as a farmer in Hurricane. In the 1920 U.S. census, Thomas and Wilhelmina's address was listed as 2nd West Street, Hurricane, and Thomas was farming on his own account.  The children at home included Vernet, 17, a farm hand on the family farm, Elma, 15, Lela, 12, Lucile, 9, Louis, 6, and Francis, 2.  All of the children except the youngest had attended school.  Living with them as renters were their daughter Vera Eagar, 20, and her husband Thomas Eagar, 21, a sheep herder. In the 1930 U.S. census, Thomas and Wilhelmina were described as living on a farm on Third North, Hurricane, Thomas being a farmer of a "mixed farm".  The children at home were Vernet, 28, a preacher for the Mormon church, Lucille, 20, a telephone operator, Louis, 16, a mail boy, and Francis, 13, attending school. In the 1940 U.S. census, Hurricane, Thomas and Wilhelmina were living in the same house as in 1935, which they owned, valued at $1,000.  Thomas was a farmer and Wilhelmina was a nurse.  Living with them was their son Jay, 25, a paper delivery man, and son Clemons, 22, a sheep herder. Thomas died 29 Feb 1948 in Hurricane, Washington, Utah.  Cause of death was myocarditis, with edema of the lungs.  He was buried 2 Mar 1948 in the Hurricane City Cemetery, Hurricane, Washington, Utah. Wilhelmina stayed active in Hurricane Valley for another 20 years.  She died 10 Oct 1968 in St. George, Washington, Utah.  She is buried with her husband in the Hurricane City Cemetery.
