After his congressional term, Hinrichsen returned to his home in Alexander. He managed the "Cincinnati Enquirer" for a year while its Democratic editor John Roll McLean sought the governorship of Ohio in 1899. The next year, he was Traveling Manager of the Democratic National Committee, raising funds for the 1900 presidential campaign. Hinrichsen spent his latter years as a writer. He contributed weekly short stories to the "Chicago Inter Ocean". He later published a collection of these stories in a book. He died in Alexander on December 18, 1907 and was interred in Diamond Grove Cemetery in Jacksonville.
