WALLACE HINES
Wallace Hines, who owns and operates eighty acres of valuable land on section 20, Belmont Township, where he is also engaged in stock raising, was born in this township, near the county line, July 1, 1860. His parents, Wil­liam and Clarissa Jane (Chapin) Hines, both of whom are now deceased, were natives of Virginia and New York respectively, but came to this county prior to the Civil War, the father being largely engaged in agricultural pursuits. Their family numbered six children, namely: John, who has passed away; Smith, of Nodaway county, Missouri; Noble, who makes his home in Cass county, Iowa; Wallace, of this review; Ellen, the widow of Alonzo Ferguson, residing at Milo; and Clara, the wife of J. W. Brown, of South Dakota.
Wallace Hines was reared in the county of his nativity and acquired a common school education. Throughout his entire business career he has fol­lowed agricultural pursuits and for the past fourteen years has owned and cultivated his present farm of eighty acres on section 20, Belmont Township. The property is well improved and in addition to the work of general farming he also raises stock, both branches of his business returning to him a gratifying annual income.
In 1887 Mr. Hines was united in marriage to Miss Emma Estes, a native of Marion County, Iowa, and a daughter of J. M. Estes, an early settler of that county, who is now deceased. Unto our subject and his wife have been born six children, as follows: Lela J., the oldest child, is deceased; Eva B., Ells­worth, Clyde, Daisy, and Noble.
In his political views Mr. Hines is a staunch Republican, while fraternally lie is connected with the Mystic Toilers at Milo. He is well known as one of the enterprising and progressive citizens of his native county and the circle of his friends is almost coextensive with the circle of his acquaintances.
