Hinman attended school and studied law there. In 1857 he was admitted to the bar and moved to Minnesota. Soon afterwards, he moved to Nebraska. From 1860 to 1862, Hinman helped out his brother, Washington Hinman, at his Overland Rest Ranch and General Store at Fort McPherson, Nebraska. Hinman was one of the early settlers in the area who wasn't going to leave despite the scalding sun, hostile winters, and angry Indians. In 1862, Beach resumed his law practice at Plattsmouth, Nebraska and two years later traveled to Montana to engage in mining until 1868. Beach married Sarah Elizabeth Minshall on November 2, 1869 in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. They then moved back to North Platte. Beach and Sarah had four children: Augusta B. (died at 21 months); Curtis; Cora Cornelia; and Minor. Beach was the first lawyer for the community. Hinman established an enviable reputation for his integrity and faithful devotion to his clients. He defended 35 homicide cases and only two of these were given the death sentence. Upon appeal to a higher court one decision was reversed and the defendant was acquitted. The other was found guilty of manslaughter. Though Hinman was a perceptive man and a shrewd attorney, he barely escaped lynching numerous times. His cunning arguments in court and strict adherence to detailed legalities made him less than popular in the robust and bawdy settlement of North Platte during the 1870's. Being an emphatic Democrat from a strong Republican district didn't improve the situation. One of Hinman's best-known cases was his defense of Pete Manning, charged with the murder of his well-known and respected sister, Kate. Hinman defended Manning and, in a trial which involved a change of venue from North Platte to Grand Island, secured his acquittal. Although the judge and others complimented him on the able way in which he handled the case, a mob gathered and threatened to lynch him. When a wealthy cattleman was tried for murder at Hastings, a mob gathered for the purpose of lynching both the prisoner and his attorney Hinman, but once again Hinman withstood the attempt and again secured the freedom of his client. Hinman was a delegate to the Nebraska constitutional conventions in 1871 and 1875, and was elected to the Democratic national convention when Grover Cleveland was nominated. His own political ambitions were halted though when he twice ran unsuccessfully for district judge. In the History of Lincoln County Hinman is described as a philanthropic person, "It being his method to assist the poor to help themselves. His plan was to help them to own their own homes, and with this idea in mind he platted a large tract into small parcels and allowed families to acquire homes on small advance payments, thus enabling them to pay for property instead of paying rentals.". Hinman was a determined and involved lawyer. His friends loved and respected him; his enemies vehemently despised and hated him. Either way, they couldn't have known Beach Hinman and remained indifferent." Beach died on September 10, 1905. Sara died on January 22, 1931. by The North Platte Library Staff - June 12,2012 BEACH I.

He lived in his native county until 1854, when he went to Belvidere, Ill., and was Deputy County Clerk of the District Court until May, 1855, when he removed to Leavenworth Kan., and wrestled for a living, farming, haying, etc. until in the fall of 1855, returned to his home in Pennsylvania, and farmed two years; then moved to Wright County, Minn., and practiced law three years in Monticello; was admitted to the bar in 1858.
