Her father was Luke Hinshaw and her mother, Isabelle (McKinney) Hinshaw.
She married Thomas W. Morgan 30 January 1893 Black Diamond, King County, WA. That year they acquired a farm at Mohler, Lincoln County, WA.
Quoted from Memories of Mohler by Agnes Snider Williams.
"After their marriage, they returned to her Mohler homestead. Dora filed on NE 1/4 Sec 18 T22 R36, claim number 935 on July 3, 1880. Applying at the Government Land Office at Colfax, she paid a fee of $14, and later claimed rights on a 'tree claim'. This was according to the Timber Culture Act by Congress, passed in 1878...She complied by breaking 10 acres with a plow the first year, measured by stepping if off with a line. In 1883 it was replowed, harrowed and five of the acres planted with locust and box-elder tree seeds. In 1884, the second five acres were planted with the same, for a count of 800 trees. During the next five years, the trees were partially destroyed by drought but replanted each year. Testimony in 1890 by witnesses John L Burgess, Crab Creek, and William McKinney showed the trees to be 9 1/2 feet hight and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. She was given full possession of the land."
They lived there until 1916 and then moved to Auburn, King County, WA.
Her death was from a form of paralysis. Snow drifts were so high was impossible to get a funeral car or team to the graveyard so her burial was delayed.
She operated the first school in the Harrington area and was a teacher in WA State for 25 years.
She belonged to the Bright Hope chapter No 79, OES and they conducted her burial service.
She had one daughter:
Ilia Mary Morgan married Fred William Green 5 January 1916 Mohler, Lincoln County, WA.
The following is from Transcribed from An Illustrated History of The Big Bend Country, embracing Lincoln, Douglas, Adams and Franklin counties, State of Washington, published by Western Historical Publishing Co., 1904.
"LUKE HINSHAW was a native of Ross county, Ohio, born September 9, 1819. During his early childhood he was taken by his parents to Indiana and at the age of fifteen he went to Henry county, Iowa. In the spring of 1845 he started across the plains with a yoke of oxen, being a member of a party of sixty wagons bound for the Willamette valley, and arrived at his destination in the month of November. Mr. Hinshaw lived at various places in the Willamette valley, and for a time conducted a ferry across the river at Oregon city.
He was married on November 23, 1851, in Washington county, Oregon, to Isabella McKinney, a native of Tippecanoe county, Indiana, born March 31, 1831. Mrs. Hinshaw was the daughter of William and Anna (Walter) McKinney, natives, respectively, of Ross county, Ohio, and Washington county, Pennsylvania. The paternal ancestors of Mrs. Hinshaw were of Irish stock, some of whom served in the Revolutionary war in America. The father was a pioneer of Oregon of 1845, and at the age of eighty-seven, died in Washington county of that state in the year 1886. The mother was closely related to Reverend Phillip Dodgridge, a celebrated minister, and died in Portland, Oregon, in 1898, aged ninety-two years. Mrs. Hinshaw's family removed to Henry county, Iowa, from the state of her birth, and in 1844 started across the plains to Oregon, but owing to misfortunes the family was compelled to remain on the Platte river until the following spring, when they joined the party of which Mr. Hinshaw was a member, and with it came on to Oregon. Mrs. Hinshaw's parents made their home in Washington county until their death.
After the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hinshaw they removed to Linn county, Oregon, near Albany, where Mr. Hinshaw had a donation claim of land. In the autumn of 1859 they came to Walla Walla, Washington, and soon afterward started a merchandise store near the present location of the city of Waitsburg, on the Walla Walla-Lewiston trails. Theirs was the first store between these two points. After remaining in that business a few years, Mr. and Mrs. Hinshaw sold out, returned to Oregon and for a short space of time conducted a store at Centerville. Later they sold this business, came to the Big Bend and filed on a homestead in 1880. Their claim lay one-half mile south of the present site of Mohler. They were the first settlers in that vicinity and their nearest neighbor lived ten miles distant. The health of Mr. Hinshaw soon began to give way, and, returning to Oregon with the hope of being benefited, he died in that state in 1883. However, he never disposed of his Big Bend homestead.
Mrs. Hinshaw has three brothers and one sister: James M., William, Jasper N. and Mrs. Rachel Cornelius, the first two residents of Washington and the others of Oregon. She makes her home a portion of the time with her children and the remainder of the time with her sister, whose home is in Portland.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hinshaw have been life-long members of the Presbyterian church.
They reared a family of five children, whose names and present addresses follow: Dora, married to F. W. Morgan, Mohler; Walter E. and Rachel, now deceased; John D. married to Bertha Lacey, Mohler, and Wilbur M., also of Mohler. John D. Hinshaw is a prominent farmer, owning three hundred and twenty acres of land. He has two children, Herbert B. and Cecil.
All of the children were born in Linn county, Oregon, with the exception of the last named, who is a native of Washington."
