Jackson Argus January 1902
Kinard, Hon. Steven B.
Alderman from the First Ward, the only re-elected member of the old council is 
well and favorably known to everybody in this section, as one of the best, 
cleverest men in the state, was born January 26, 1868, at Towaliga, Butts 
county, Ga.  He was born on a farm and bred on a farm, and reared on a farm 
until he was 22 years of age, receiving a country school education.  His father 
was B. C. Kinard, who moved to Butts from Jasper County, and married Miss 
Prudence Vickers, of near Flovilla.  Both were honored and respected citizens of 
this county for years.
In 1891, S. B. Kinard went to Atlanta, and took a thorough business course and 
studied bookkeeping in the Goldsmith & Sullivan Business College of Atlanta.  He 
came to Jackson September 1st , 1891 and went into business as book-keeper for 
the J. R. Carmichael Manufacturing Works, for which firm he worked until March 
1898, when he went into business for himself.  He is a fire insurance agent, a 
coal dealer, and founded the Jackson Telephone Exchange, in which latter 
business he has attained a world-wide reputation as being the owner of a 
telephone exchange with more phones to population than any town or city in this 
country, the Jackson averages being the next city in San Francisco, Cal., with 
one phone to every sixteen inhabitants.  besides his coal, insurance and 
telephone business, he has various other interests in both town and county, and 
is looked upon as one of the livest most enterprising most thorough business men 
in  Georgia.
 Only Wednesday of this week, he associated with himself in the telephone 
business, Mr. Thos. H. Buttrill, of Jackson, one of the cleverest brightest, 
best young business men of this section and the outlook for the coming years I 
very bright indeed.
Mr. Kinard has already served the city of Jackson one term as alderman, and it 
is enough to say that the people appreciated his good work in that office so 
highly that they re-elected him this week.  He is so well known to the people of 
all this section, as the finest type of the young self-made man, that words in 
his praise would be superfluous.  He lives in the confidence and esteem of all 
who know him.
