Harvey DeForest Hinman (17
September 1864 – 11 July 1954) was a New York State Senator. He
was born in Pitcher, Chenango County, New York on
17 September 1864. In 1893, Hinman, who had come to Binghamton in 1889, went to
work as a clerk for a lawyer named George F. Lyon. Later that same year, Lyon
took on another law clerk, Archibald Howard, just out of Lafayette College. In
1894, Thomas B. Kattell went with Lyon as a law clerk. On 27 November 1901 he
married Phebe Anna Brown. In 1901-1902, the three joined together to form Hinman, Howard & Kattell, an upstate New York law firm
that continues under the same name today. Hinman was a member of the New York State Senate from
1905 to 1912, sitting in the 128th, 129th (both
38th New York State Legislatures (all
six 39th D.). During his service as a New York State Senator, he became a key
strategist and confidant of Governor Charles Evans Hughes. In
1914, it was former New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt who
encouraged him to run for Governor. Although he was defeated in 1914 in
the Republican primary for Governor of New York by Charles S. Whitman, his
political connections and influence in New York State only deepened over the
years. Returning to the practice of law full-time, but continuing his call to
public service, Senator Hinman was also influential in the establishment in
1949 of Harpur College, which would eventually become Binghamton University, and
B.U.’s Hinman College pays respect to his leadership in this regard. He died on
11 July 1954 in Binghamton, New York.
