HINES, Sr., June 1st, 1889. Mr. HINES was born April 13th, 1811, and at the time of his death had completed his seventy-eighth year. As a citizen and a Baptist he was one of the strong landmarks of the county. While a young man, about eighteen years of age, he was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist church, so that is connection with the Baptist faith has been for nearly sixty years. For about forty-five years he has served as deacon in the LaGrange church, and for fifty years has been a regular subscriber for the RECORDER. He is held in high esteem by his brethren for his wisdom and ripe Christian character. He has reared a large family of useful sons and daughters, nearly all of whom are consecrated Christians. These remain to mourn with a large circle of relatives and friends, his departure. But he has gone in the ripeness of a long and useful life-he sinks into the grave in the happy conference of one who feels that he is rising to a heavenly home. Another landmark has passed from us, but we thank God for his long and useful life, and we pray for the final gathering home of all that love the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. J.S. DILL. The cares of this life are many and varied; the sorrows of the mind and the agonies of the body, as we toil for a living, and strive for an entrance at the straight gate, that few are able to carry four score years. But the subject of this notice, Mr. Jas. M. HINES, Sr., labored earnestly and successfully, and suffered patiently and faithfully nearly three score and ten, dying in the 78th year of his age. He leaves his children and a host of friends an example worthy of their consideration, and while they grieve for their loss, they are consoled with the thought that he has gone to reap a rich reward for his labors, and to a home more resplendent than earth can afford. He was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church a great many years, and his life work exemplified the faith he professed, and many were the deeds of kindness and charity that daily fell from his hands. His funeral was preached at his home near Lenoir Institute Sunday evening by Rev. J.S. DILL, and his remains were deposited in the family cemetery to await the resurrection of the just. (2 newspaper Obits-no dates, newspaper not named) FUNERAL OF LOVIT HINES ATTENDED BY MANY FRIDAY P.M. The funeral of Lovit HINES, prominent citizen and industrial leader, was conducted from his late residence on East Caswell Street Friday afternoon at 5 O'clock. Interment was given in Maplewood Cemetery. Pastor Bernard P. SMITH of Gordon Street Christian Church conducted the funeral service. He was assisted by Rev. Charles L. READ, pastor of the Queen Street Methodist Church, and Rev. Francis J.H. COFFIN, rector of St. Mary's Episcopal Church. A number of out of town friends and relatives attended the obsequtries. Included among them was Henry C. RILEY of Philadelphia, who was for many years associated with Mr. HINES in the lumber business. The floral tributes, numerous and handsome, attested the esteem in which the deceased was held in the community. A coincidence to Mr. HINES' death which occurred a little before 6 o'clock Thursday afternoon, was that it was the 13th anniversary of his second marriage and within about an hour of the time. MRS. LOVIT HINES DIES; RITES TODAY The funeral of Mrs. Lovit (Polly JONES) HINES, 80, was held from Gordon Street Christian Church of which she was long a member, Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Burial was in the family plot at Maplewood Cemetery. Mrs. HINES, familiarly known in a large circle of friends as "Miss Pollie?" died early Sunday morning following an illness of several years. The end came peacefully after a night of apparent rest. She caller her nurse about 5 a.m. and when the "attendant" reached her bedside she had quietly passed out. Mrs. HINES was the widow of Lovit HINES, one of the founders of the Hines Brothers Lumber Company and active in many civic and business affairs in Kinston. She was the second wife of the late Mr. HINES and is survived by five sons, William W., Willis, Robert and Charles of Kinston and Sgt. 1/C Lovit HINES of Colorado Springs and 24 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Five step children also survive. They are Mrs. W.D. (Mamie HINES) LaRoque, Mrs. Oscar (Clara) GREENE, and Phil HINES of Kinston, Mrs. Booker CUNNINGHAM of Wilson and Mrs. Willey SMITH of Goldsboro.

HINES, Jr., Lovit (Judge) LAROQUE and Phil CRAWFORD of Kinston and Robert SMITH of Goldsboro. Rev. Clinton BRADSHAW, pastor of the church, officiated and Mrs. T. Y.
