JOSEPH C. HINELINE DIES AT AGE OF 93

 

  Joseph C. Hineline, a well-known resident of Easton, and one of the oldest truck farmers in this vicinity, died at 9.20 o’clock this morning at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Horace P. Harrison, 913 Washington Street, from a complication of ailments, following three years’ illness.  Mr. Hineline was born in Forks township on December 18, 1826, and was therefore in his ninety-third year.  He spend his younger days on a farm, and after he was married to Miss Lydia Deitz, of near Bangor, he engaged in the liquor distilling business, first at Michler’s, along the Bushkill, and later at Bethlehem.  He remained at this business until the high revenue during the trying times of the Civil War practically made the business extinct locally.  In 1866 he purchased a farm along the Delaware river, about two miles south of Easton, and remained there until three years ago, when he was stricken with paralysis, his left side being affected.  Since then he had been able to mobe about only with the aid of his nurse, and had been making his home with his children.  Four months ago he went to live with his granddaughter, Mrs. Harrison.

  During the three years of his illness Mr. Hineline suffered patiently and was always cheerful in the company of his friends and relatives.  He possessed a wonderful memory and many of his hours were spent in relating incidents of his boyhood days.  For many years he was an active member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, South Side, and of the imp. O. R. M.

   His wife proceeded him in death nine years ago.  Children surviving him are Mrs. Henry O. Trumbore, of South Bethlehem;  Mrs. Emma S. Edelman and Frank Hineline, of Easton;  Charles E. Hineline of New York city, and Mrs. Peter F. Kleinhans, of Forks township.
