JOHN W. HINES, Ohio County, is a son of William H.
Hines, a native of Kentucky, a boot-maker by profession; married Hester Ann
Rone in 1840. He died in 1863, leaving seven children, of whom our subject,
John W., is the second. William H. Hines, in 1861, entered the Federal army,
with the rank of sergeant in Company B, Seventeenth Kentucky Volunteer
Infantry, served one year, and was discharged on account of ill health; afterward
joined the Twelfth Kentucky Cavalry, in which he rose to the rank of first
lieutenant, and while in service died at Louisville, Ky., in 1863. Simeon
Hines, the grandfather of John W., was a native of Virginia. He died in Ohio
County, Ky., in 1872, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. John W. Hines was
born May 22, 1848, in Woodbury, Butler Co., Ky. During the absence of his
father in the war, and after his death, until 1866, young Hines supported the
family by his labor. After his mother's second marriage, he worked on the farm
by the month and drove team for two years; then carried mail from Hartford to
Cloverport on the Ohio River, and between Hartford and Point Pleasant on Green
River, for one year. In 1870 he raised a crop of corn. January 15, 1871, he
married Alice M., daughter of Philip and Martha Davenport. He then carried mail
another year on the same route; then rented land and farmed one year, and in
the fall of 1872 bought 100 acres, which he sold five years later, and bought
119 acres where he now resides; has sixty-five acres well fenced and in
cultivation. He gives his exclusive attention to his farm and his stock, which
is, probably, the best to be found anywhere in his vicinity. Mr. Hines has
accumulated his property by good management and close attention to business,
but attributes much of his success to the assistance of his wife. They are the
parents of two sons, Vernon N. and Luther P., aged, respectively, ten and six
years. Mrs. Hines is a member of the Baptist faith. Mr. Hines is in practice on
the side of temperance, and is a Democrat, but occasionally votes for a
Republican if he thinks him to be the best man for the place. Mr. Hines'
mother, Mrs. Hester Ann (Rone) Hines, is still living.
