Samuel Hine died at 9:27 o'clock this morning at his home in Poland at the age of 77.
The deceased was a pioneer resident of Mahoning county and has lived in this community all of his life.
About six years ago he was prostrated by a severe sun stroke, from which he never fully recovered. Last December he slipped on the walk at his home and in falling broke his leg at the hip. Owing to his advanced age he never rallied from the shock and he steadily faded away. His death was due to a gradual dissolution known as old age and was hastened by the severe shock his injury of last winter occasioned.
Samuel Hine was born in this city on March 31, 1816, at the old house that stood for a number of years near the Lake Shore passenger station. He was the oldest son of Homer and Mary Hine. His early days were spent in this city and when he became a young man he entered Hudson College. He left college before he graduated and formed a partnership at Brookfield with Henry Wick, the firm doing a general mercantile business.
He soon returned to this city, and in (1836) he removed to Hubbard, where he again embarked in mercantile pursuits. Soon afterwards he located to Poland and has since been engaged in looking after his vast real estate interests.
The deceased married Miss Ellen Louise Montgomery, daughter of Robert Montgomery, June 26th, 1844. Two children were born of this marriage, Cecil D. Hine, of the firm of Hine & Clarke, and a daughter, who now resides in Missouri.
Mrs. Hine died May 18th, 1865, and her husband was afterwards wedded to Miss Emma Kirtland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Billius Kirtland, of Boardman. His second wife and her five children survive him, as follows: (Samuel) Kirtland, Miss Ellen, Homer, Alfred and Charlie.
The deceased was an intelligent man of great force and character, and was respected by all who knew him. His dealings in real estate, which at the time of his death, amounted to a vast fortune. He was a brother of Mrs. Henry Wick, of Cleveland, and Mrs. Dudley Baldwin. The deceased was a director in the Farmer's bank of Poland and his death will be a great loss to the village.
The funeral services will be held Monday at 2 p.m., at his late residence.
