- ↑ "THOMAS SHINEW, one of the successful, progressive farmers of Portage township, was born October 2, 1851, in Montgomery township, and is the eldest son of Dennis and Catherine (Gunder) Shinew. Our subject was the son of poor parents, and he was obliged to spend his younger days hard at work on the farm. His schooling was greatly neglected, as he was able to attend only a few weeks each winter. He served an apprenticeship in farming under his father's instructions and remained on the home farm until he was twenty-one years old, up to which time he had never had $2 at one time that he could call his own. He started to work for his uncle; receiving seventy-five cents a day. He earned: $9, with whick he bought a pair of boots and a pair of trousers.
On April 3, 1876, he married in Center township, Miss Sarah Nelson, a native of Hancock county, and a daughter of William Nelson. At this time Mr: Shinew had saved $800 from his earnings, and with this he rented land in Portage, and lived there until he bought fifty-six acres in Section 3; of that township, from Noah Helm, for which he went heavily in debt. Later he sold this land and bought elsewhere. He took a contract for ditching, and made considerable money. About 1888 he moved to Section 8, Portage township, where he now resides, buying land at different times, until at present times, until at present he has 247 acres In 1891 he built one of the finest barns in the township. To. Mr. and Mrs. Shinew, have been born these children: Mary, William, Dennis, George, Isaac, Lester, Verna, and Thomas. All are living but Dennis. Our subject is a stanch supporter of the Democratic party, and has always been a hard working for its success. Although not an office seeker, he has been elected constable of Portage township. He is well posted on all the political issues, and his influence in this field has been keenly felt by both friend and foe. He is an active and devout member of the Christian Union, and belongs to the Clover Dale class. As a farmer Mr. Shinew has probably few equals in Portage township. for thrift and industry. An excellent manager and hard worker, his present position among the foremost of Portage township's farmers is secure."
