BIOGRAPHICAL  SKETCH  OF  THE  LATE  JAMES 
THORNTON  SHINN.1 
By  John  F.  Hancock. 
James  T.  Shinn  was  born  January  9,  1834,  in  the  city  of  Phila- 
delphia. 
His  parents  belonged  to  the  Society  of  Friends,  and  they  instilled 
in  his  young  mind  principles  calculated  to  make  a  strong  character. 
He  was  educated  in  the  Friends'  Select  School,  of  Philadelphia, 
and  the  boarding  school  at  Westtown,  Chester  County,  Pa. 
The  good  influences  of  home  and  school  gave  him  a  training, 
morally  and  intellectually,  that  fitted  him  for  the  responsible  positions 
which  he  filled  in  after  life  and  made  him  the  useful  man  he  was. 
He  possessed  rare  qualities  of  mind  and  heart,  which,  with  his 
commanding  presence,  inspired  confidence  and  respect.  He  was  a 
genial  companion,  cultivated  and  well  informed  on  general  topics.
