Chicago, Trumbull, Syracuse: Boyden William Hindman and Barbara F Rice, 1936 to 1945

Boyden William Hindman, born 31 May 1908 in La Salle, Illinois, was 27 years old when he married Barbara Frances Rice in Chicago on 11 April 1936. Barbara was 24, three years out of London by way of the Rice family's Virginia and Illinois moves. The couple began married life in La Grange, Cook County, Illinois, where Boyden's family already lived. By 1940 they had moved to Trumbull, Fairfield County, Connecticut, probably for engineering work. Their first son, Robert W 'Bob' Hindman, was born in Trumbull around January 1940. By December 1945 they had moved again, this time to 201 Ambergate Road in DeWitt, an eastern suburb of Syracuse, NY. There, at Syracuse Memorial Hospital, on 12 December 1945, their second son William John 'Bill' Hindman was born; Boyden was working as an engineer at Precision Casting Co. The third child, a daughter, Brenda, was born sometime later. Boyden William died in April 1972, age 63. Barbara survived him by 25 years; she died in 1997. Their son Bill grew up, became Brant Hindman's father, and died in 2025. Their grandson Brant built the site you are reading.
