Abel James Hindle

Abel James Hindle (1870–1954)[1] was a farmer and political figure in Saskatchewan. He represented Willow Bunch in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 1917 to 1925 as a Liberal.

He was born in Churchill, Ontario, the son of Abel James Hindle and Mary Ann McKay, and was educated in Owen Sound.[2] His grandparents had come to Canada from Lancashire, England.[3] In 1898, Hindle married Minnie Sinclair.[2] He operated a large farm west of Owen Sound until 1911, when the Hindles moved to Saskatchewan. They settled on a homestead west of Moose Jaw.[3] Hindle was reeve of the rural municipality of Stonehenge from 1914 and 1915.[2] He resigned his seat in 1925 to allow James Albert Cross to be elected to the provincial assembly.[4] He later moved to Regina.[3]
