John Hineline, a native born pioneer of DeSoto, died at his home in that neighborhood Sunday, January 16, at the age of 78 years. Up until a couple of months ago he had been able to attend to some of his farm work, but for the past few weeks he had been confined to his bed. He was the eldest son of Solomon Hineline, Sr., who came to DeSoto from Ohio on May 31, 1855, and who died in 1896. John Hineline as were all his brothers and his sister was born on the farm now occupied by Solomon Hineline, Jr. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. R. C. Busch, of Omaha. A son died in 1915. Three brothers and one sister also survive: Solomon, Charles and Frank, all of DeSoto, and Mrs. marry Fancher of Longview, Wash.

Mr. Hineline typified the splendid character of the early settlers of Nebraska. He was a good citizen, parent, friend and neighbor, and his kindly presence will indeed be missed in this community where he was born and lived so long and usefully.

The funeral services were held at the Baptist Church in Blair yesterday afternoon, with burial in the Blair Cemetery.
