JOHN S. HINE, stock-raiser and farmer, was born in Lincoln County, N.C.,
January 3, 1836, and is the second child of John G. and Mary M. (Bolinger)
Hine, both of whom were born in the "Old North State," and of German
extraction. Our subject remained at home until he was twenty-eight years
old; then began efforts for himself, and, without any assistance, has
obtained a good home and farm, embracing sixty-seven acres, well situated,
drained, stocked, and containing various improvements. He was reared a
farmer, working during summer and going to school during winter. August
27, 1863,he married Miss Marietta A. Prather, born November 10, 1844, in
this State. This union gave issue to two children--David L, born February
22, 1866, ad Jarvis E, deceased, March 30, 1872. Mr. Hine took an earnest
part in the late Grange organization, and is an active Democrat, having
given his fist suffrage for Stephen A. Douglas. He is a genial, generous,
enlightened and progressive citizen, also an advocate of public education.
In 1882, he was elected Road Superintendent. Mr. and Mrs. Hine are
communicants of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
