Although taking some interest in the
political affairs of the county and being
staunch Democrat, he had not been in
active politics in recent years, preferring
to devote his energies to the practice of
his profession, in which he was meeting
with remarkable success, and as test
monial of his memory we offer the follow
ing minute :,
As lawyer Mr.. Shinn was careful and
he had the respect OF mem
bers of the Bar and the confidence of the
Court, and growing clientage that at
tested the success he was making in his
profession.
AS man he took an active interest in
the affairs of the county. holding several
positions of responsibility and trust, and

valued citizen.
