IN MEMORIAM - WAITMAN THOMPSON HINES

On December, 1931, shortly after his sixty-ninth birthday, Mr. Waitman
T. Hines, faithful and devout communicant of the Church, loyal and
devote member of St. Mary's Church, Kinston, NC, passed into "Life
Eternal."

The passing of Mr. Hines, for many years a vestryman of St. Mary's
Parish, and more recently Senior Warden, until forced by ill health to
resign, brings a great loss to the Church and community of Kinston; and
removed from the ranks of the Diocese of East Carolina a godly layman,
whose life was the source of constant inspiration to all his associates
and friends.

The late Mr. Hines was a native of Lenoir County. Before beginning his
business career he was a student at Wake Forest College. In 1892 he,
with his brother the late Mr. Lovitt Hines went into the lumber
business, in which they achieved marked success. In 1896, their business
was moved to Kinston. Since that time, Mr. Hines and his family have
resided in Kinston and have been very closely identified with the life
and work of St. Mary's Church, and with the Diocese of East Carolina. In
1887 Mr. Hines was married to Miss Leone Hardy. In addition to his
widow, Mr. Hines is survived by three daughters, Mrs. A. H. Parrott,
Mrs. D. L. Dixon, and Mrs. J. L. Skinner; and by one son, Mr. W. R.
Hines.

For a period of several months prior to his death, Mr. Hines, had been
in failing health. Two days before last Christmas, the end came very
quietly due to heart failure. Mr. Hines, in his sleep had passed into
the ranks of the Church Triumphant. In death, as in life, with simple
unwavering faith, Mr. Hines had followed where His Master had led the
way. By his uprightness, his sincerety (sic), his kindness to others,
and his generosity, in truth, by his genuine Christian life and conduct,
and his steadfast and humble Christian faith, the late Waitman Thompson
Hines has bequeathed to his family, relatives, and hosts of friends and
comrades a blessed Memory and an inspiring example, which deserves to be
cherished and followed by succeeding generations. Through the death of
Mr. W. T. Hines, the State of North Carolina has lost an honored and
noble citizen; and the church, a loyal and devoted son.
"Blessed are the Dead, who died in the Lord."
