HINSHAW
Kenneth Gunn Hinshaw, 84, died June 19, 1990, in Rancho Mirage, Calif. He was the son of Klickitat Valley pioneers Elmer and Harriet (Gunn) Hinshaw, born January 1, 1906, on a ranch south of Goldendale. He attended Goldendale public schools and Washington State University where he studied livestock husbandry and majored in journalism. He was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho social fraternity and was elected to Alpha Zeta (agriculture), Mu Beta Beta (leadership), Scabbard and Blade (military) and Sigma Delta Chi (journalism) honor societies. As an Intercollegiate Knight he was a guardian of the university's cougar mascot and was a member of the university's 1927 livestock judging team.
Mr. Hinshaw married Estaline Geary in 1929 and they made their home in New England until her death in 1970. Their son Geary resides in California.
From 1930 to 1970, Mr. Hinshaw edited the cooperative's monthly farm magazine, The Cooperator, which won top awards in national competitions -- as did also many of the advertising campaigns which he directed.
He was president of the Cooperative Editorial Association and in 1961 received its national editorship award. He was president of the Advertising Club of Springfield and a district governor of the Advertising Federation of America.
In 1937, Mr. Hinshaw bought a suburban farm in Agawam, Mass. and for 20 years he was a breeder of Devon cattle, Yorkshire hogs and small size turkeys. From 1950 to 1970 he was the executive secretary of the Devon cattle registry association.
He retired in 1970 and sold his Massachusetts property. He married Jean Krofsky and for 12 years they made their home on his family's homestead ranch northwest of Goldendale.
He was president of Goldendale Lions Club, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, secretary of the Observatory Corporation, president of Town Pride, Inc. and secretary of the County Bicentennial Committee. He negotiated to receive $5,000 of matching funds to construct Ekone Park restrooms and picnic kitchen in the form of frontier fort blockhouses and the connecting log stockade wall.
Survivors include his wife and son Geary. Private services were conducted in California. Plans are pending for a memorial service in Goldendale at a later date.
Side note: I just found out from the Funeral Home in Goldendale that neither Kenneth nor his wife Jean are buried in Goldendale cemetery near his mother, they did though buy the plots and have a head stone that has his name and birth and death year on it, along with Jean's name and birthdate, they are not buried there.
