Her father purchased a farm north of town. She was united in marriage to Cyrus S. Hines, Jan. 13, 1871. Since that time she has made this place her home. To this union four children were born, two of them, Mrs. Lena Davis and James G. Hines preceded their mother in death. Mr. Hines passed away March 27, 1926. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Bertha Allen and Mrs. Martha Jordan of this place, besides other relatives and friends.

When found she was unconscious and remained so until the Angel of Death called her home. She united with the Congregational church in 1922. She was an active member of the Ladies Aid society and also of the Royal Neighbors of America. Mrs. Hines visited the homes of the sick and rendered her services wherever needed.
