JOHN W. HINELINE

John W. Hineline was born July 15, 1860 on a farm near old DeSoto, Nebraska. He was the oldest son in a family of seven. His parents, Catherine Oberst and Solomon Hineline came to DeSoto in the fifties.

During his boyhood Mr. Hineline attended school at old DeSoto. As a young man he homesteaded near Hemingford, Nebraska, but after a few years returned to DeSoto where he spent the remainder of his life farming a part of the same farm on which he was born.

John Hineline married Edith Gutschow of Blair on Febr. 15, 1898. To them were born two children. The elder, John Vernon, preceded his father in death on Febr. 5, 1915.

Besides his wife and daughter, Olive, he is survived by one grandchild, three brothers, Frank, Charles and Solomon, all of DeSoto and one sister, Mrs. H. E. Fancher of Longview, Washington.

Those who knew him will always remember him as an honest, sturdy pioneer. He was a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for over forty years.

Although ailing somewhat for several years, he was active in his work about the farm until the spring of 1937.

He passed from this life on January 16, 1938 at the age of 77 years, 6 months and 1 day.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, Jan. 19 from the Baptist church, the Rev. Carl Self of Omaha officiating. Burial was in the Blair cemetery.
