    WILLIAM A. HINE, Hardware Merchant, Athens, was born in Limestone County
January 29, 1822. His father, Silas Hine, was a native of Connecticut, from
whence he removed to Virginia, and in 1818 to Alabama. Here he was a planter,
and died in 1850. In Virginia, he married Miss Temperance Harrison, who bore him
three sons and one daughter, who grew to man's and woman's estate.

    William A. Hine was the second son born, and is the only one living. He
received his education in the Athens schools; followed planting many years, and
engaged in mercantile business in 1843.

    The senior Mr. Hine was a merchant in Athens in connection with his planting
interests, and it was with him that the present Mr. Hine took his first lessons
in merchandizing.

    During the late war, Mr. Hine was commissioner of revenue and roads. He has
never been in politics, and with the exception of the period of the war, he has
devoted his time and his talents to business, and has been successful.

    Mr. Hine is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is a Mason. He
was married, in Lauderdale County, in February, 1845, to Miss Letitia Sloss, who
bore him three children that grew to man's and woman's estate. She died in 1865,
leaving three children: Clara (Mrs. Dr. Borroum, Corinth, Miss.), William A.,
Jr., died in February, 1879, at the age of twenty-two years: and Ernest, a
farmer, now in this county.

    Mr. Hine's second marriage occurred in Corinth, Miss., in 1867, where he wed
Eva, a younger sister of his first wife.
