    HARRY H. HINES, an intelligent and trusted citizen of the village of Dassel, the
superintendent and manager of the Minnesota and Dakota elevator, is a native of
Colchester, Chittenden county, Vt., born in August, 1848, and is the son of Benjamin
and Emily (Rolfe) Hines. His paternal grandfather, William Hines, was one of the
earliest settlers of the town of Colchester, as was the maternal grandfather of our
subject, Jacob Rolfe, and these two gentlemen and one other owned, at one time,
nearly the entire town. William Hines lived and died among the verdant hills of the
“Green Mountain State,” where he settled, and on his death the homestead descended
to his son Benjamin, the father of our subject, who, besides managing three good
farms in that portion of the country, was engaged in mercantile pursuits. Jacob
Rolfe, the grandfather of Harry, mentioned above, was a colonel in command of the
“Green Mountain Boys” during the last conflict with Great Britain, 1812-15, and was
a gallant and able soldier, and our subject recollects his telling of war
experiences, in his younger days.

   Harry H. Hines came to Meeker county' in 1868, and settled in what is now
Litchfield township, on section 31, where he followed agricultural pursuits for some
ten years, after which he removed, after selling his property, to the village of
Darwin, where he purchased wheat and other grain for the Davidson Elevator Company.
In August, 1880, he came to Dassel and assumed charge of the elevator where he is
now located. He has, since first coming here, taken a lively interest in all
educational and political affairs, and is now serving as one of the school directors
of the the village. In his political affiliations he is in thorough accord with the
republican party, and supports the candidates of that organization. He is a member
of the Golden Fleece Lodge, No. 89, A. F. & A. M., having been made a Mason at
Litchfield in 1882. Mr. Hines was united in marriage with Miss Maggie Harding,
October 10, 1870. His life companion 7s a native of Jennings county, Ind., and a
daughter of Mitchell and Mary Ann (Reeves) Harding. By this marriage there have been
six children— Maud, Grace, Bessie, Benjamin, Blanche and the baby.
