      HON. M. LOUIS HAINER,
  
  [p. 811] mayor of New Castle, was born in the city which has honored him
  with the highest position in its gift, in January, 1871, and is a son of
  John Adam and Elizabeth L. (Bayha) Hainer.
  
  John Adam Hainer has been a resident of New Castle for many years, but
  he was born in Germany, and after coming to America learned the trade of
  wagonmaker. He has been prominent in the political affairs of New Castle
  and of Lawrence County, and has served as county treasurer and in other
  offices. At present he fills the office of Director of the Poor at New
  Castle. He reared a family of nine children.
  
  M. Louis Hainer was educated in the public schools of New Castle. When
  he reached man's estate he embarked in a grocery business in this city,
  later in the clothing business and continued interested in the latter
  line until he was elected to his present office in 1905, on the
  Republican ticket. Mr. Hainer has made a good mayor. He is broad-minded
  and liberal, but has always stood firmly for genuine reform and for law
  and order in all municipal affairs. He is one of the most popular public
  officials in Lawrence County.
  
  Mayor Hainer has been actively connected with a number of the leading
  fraternal organizations for many years. He is a Mason, a Knight of
  Pythias, an Eagle and an Elk. In the latter order he has filled the
  office of Exalted Ruler, and is a trustee of the New Castle lodge. He is
  a man of genial presence and frank manner and counts his loyal friends
  by many a score.
