Euphrasie Hinkle

(September 15, 1847 – August 27, 1889) was the Superior General of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, from 1883 to 1889.

Although the Hinkles were Methodist, George sent his daughters to St. Augustine School, run by the Sisters of Providence.

Anna was unhappy with this arrangement and made her displeasure known in school, one day even going so far as to toss all of the classroom books on Christian Doctrine out the window.

With her background in education, Sister Euphrasie was very helpful in school mission visitations, a yearly required task for Superiors General.

In the elections of 1886, Mother Euphrasie asked to be relieved of her position due to failing health, but she was re-elected.
