CAPTAIN HINES PASSED AWAY SUNDAY 1 P.M.

Was Confederate Soldier, Lawyer, Commissioner and Circuit Court Clerk

FUNERAL SERVICES TUESDAY AT 10:00 A.M.

Born And Lived Here All of His Life - Only Twelve Veterans Survive

Captain Edward L. Hines, a Confederate soldier, a lawyer, former master commissioner and clerk of the Warren Circuit court, died Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home of his son, Porter Hines, No. 1337 Park street.

The remains were later removed to the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. A. Scott Hines, 921 Elm street, where the funeral services will be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, and will be conducted by Rev. Frank M. Thomas and the Rev. Alexander Galt, rector of Christ Episcopal church. The burial will follow in Fairview cemetery by the side of his wife.

Captain Hines enlisted in the Confederate army at Camp Boone in Tennessee, on June 1, 1861, joining the second Kentucky Infantry under Colonel Roger Hanson. He surrendered on May 9, 1865, being then captain of Company E, Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, under the command of William P.C. Breckinridge. In four years of active service he was never captured, although twice wounded, and except for a short time in the hospital, was never absent from his command. Never having been robust after his service in the army, he retired to his bungalow in the country, that he might rest and recuperate. And thus has passed away the last of that generation of young Hines and that body of splendid young men who from this section joined the Confederate army, only twelve being left. A man of much intelligence, a soldier as brave as he was modest, and beloved by everybody.

Captain Hines was educated at "Old Warren County" in this city. He graduated in law, but never practiced his profession. He served as master commissioner and clerk of the Warren Circuit Court, which positions he held for several years with credit to both himself and the county.

Captain Hines was born in Warren county and had spent his entire life in this community. The date of his birth was November 5, 1842, and he was the son of the late Fayette and Ann Cook Hines, who lived here and died many years ago. He was married to Miss Cornelia Duncan, a daughter of the late Dillard Duncan and Jane Covington Duncan, and a sister of S.B. Duncan of this city, and Wood Duncan of Rockfield vicinity, this county. His wife died December 29, 1884, in this city. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. A.S. Hines, and four sons, Porter Hines, both of this city; Ed Hines, Jr., of St. Louis, Mo.; Warner Hines of New York City, and Duncan Hines of Chicago, Ill.

The following gentlemen have been requested to act as pallbearers:

Active - Judge McKenzie Moss, Henry B. Hines, Sam D. Hines, Carl D. Herdman, Lawrence G. Duncan, H.D. Fitch, Mayor W.H. Jones, C.M. Coombs, Porter Sims, John B. Rodes and W.B. Gaines.

Honorary - Henry L. Underwood, Col. M.H. Crump, C.U. McElroy, D.W. Wright, Captain W.S. Overstreet, J.C. Sims, W.H. Wooten and Col. R.B. Hurd.

From "A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians, Volume 3," by E. Polk Johnson, 1912, Lewis Publishing Company:

"John H. Hines, Lieut. Company D, 2nd Kentucky Cavalry and Lieut. Edward L. Hines, 9th Kentucky Cavalry, brothers, and grandsons of James Hines, both made gallant officers during the war. The former was captured on the Ohio raid in July, 1863, and kept as a prisoner of war at Johnson's Island in Lake Erie, until the war was about over. He came to his home in Bowling Green, Kentucky, after the surrender, and eventually made his home in Texas, where he died, his remains having been brought home and buried in Fairview Cemetery. Edward L. Hines is still living in Warren county, and has a picturesque home at the mouth of Gasper."
