Biographical History
Eva Maria Hinman was born on October 20, 1861 in Farmington, Utah to Morgan Lewis Hinman and
Harriet Saphronia Hess. She married Joseph Giles on September 25, 1894 in Morgan County, Utah
Together they had two daughters, Marvel Eva and Viva June. The family lived for many years in Ogden,
Utah where Joseph died in 1930. After the death of her husband, Eva moved to California where she
died in 1934.
Scope and Content
While preparing to move to California, Eva Giles took some papers to her neighbor Carl Guertler in
Ogden, Utah to be burned. He saw some old stamps and while looking through the papers, he noticed
they had genealogical value. She gave permission for him to keep the papers and they were donated to
the Genealogical Society of Utah. The papers were withdrawn from the library and eventually donated
to the Midwest Genealogy Center. The papers include some items belonging to Eva’s father, Morgan
Hinman and include an account book from 1866, a land patent in Utah, and a muster roll containing his
name. Other documents include deeds, bonds, contracts, probate, and other records relating to her
ancestors living in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Some of the early documents date back to the late
1700s and early 1800s.
