Edward Hine. Edward Hine, one of the prosperous business men, of Harrison, Ohio, is interested in the road contracting business, although for many years he was engaged in farming and still owns a fine farm. He was born in Whitewater township, Hamilton county, Ohio, September 20, 1869, a son of Charles D. and Barbara (Pope) Hine, both natives of Germany. Charles D. Hine came to this country while still a young man and located in Hamilton county, where he followed agriculture throughout his life. He was a Democrat, and held the office of township trustee for some time. He and his family were members of the German Lutheran church. Mr. and Mrs. Hine were the parents of ten children, as follows: George, who resides in Hamilton county; Edward; Margaret, who resides in Westwood, Ohio; Leonora, Charles and Fred, all residing in Westwood, Ohio; William, who lives in Whitewater township; Emma, the wife of Stephen Hayes, of Westwood, Ohio; Joseph, who lives in Colorado, and Hilda, the wife of Henry Lohrey, of Green township. Edward Hine, second child of Charles and Barbara Hine, obtained his education in the public schools of his native township, and then assisted his father on the home farm until 1881, when he engaged in agriculture for himself, which he continued for some time. In 1906, Mr. Hine engaged in the general contracting business and continues successfully at the present time. Politically, Mr. Hine is a stanch Republican and has held the office of township trustee, a member of the board of education and the county fair board, for a number of years. Fraternally, he is a member of the Knights of Pythias Lodge and the Elaine Club. Mr. Hine married Miss Clara P. Meyers, a daughter of George and Mary (Huber) Meyers, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and to this union have been born three children as follows: Raymond, who married Elinore Bauer, and resides in Harrison, Ohio, is the father of two sons and a daughter, Charles Edward, Mary Lee and Raymond, Jr.: Beatrice, who resides with her parents at home, and Chester, who resides at home. In every walk in life Mr. Hines has proven himself efficient, upright and self-reliant, and his present prosperity ought to be an incentive to those of the rising generation to follow his example, rather than to seek wealth along less worthy avenues.
