Hindson

(from Days of Yore)

The Hindsons came to Watford about 1882. Three brothers were tailors and set up shop in Watford. Two Hindsons, a brother and sister, married two Hastings, also a sister and brother, making for many double cousins for the next generation. Some of the Hindsons married into the Hume family of the Watford area.

In 1902 the Hindsons moved to Regina, where the parents lived out their remaining years. One son was a dentist who returned to Toronto, Ont. Another son, a physician, established himself in Saskatchewan. The third son, a pharmacist settled in Oregon, was killed in the great Regina cyclone while still a medical student. Their daughter moved to Vancouver.
