1.-THE subject of this sketch, was born in the
year of our Lord 1862, near the quiet little vii
| 1age of Doe Hill, Highland county, Va. His
| father dying while the son was quite an in
| 1dnl, ne was leIC 10 un0 care OF MS mOCner,
| who, being possessed of all the traits of a
| noble mother, nurtured and tutored her child
| in the right paths, until he had arrived at the
proper age to enter school, when the sad dis
covery was made that he was deficient in eye
sight. Hence he, unlike most young men,
was prevented from acquiring his common
school education until he had reached his
seventeenth year, at which time his sight be-
gan to improve and he was able to enter
| school.
He attended the Oakland high school at his
native village for several years, until his
brother-in-law, Mr.. A A. Crawford a man Of
much aff1uence, prevailed upon him to make
| his home with him. After several years, Mr.
Crawford seeing the energy and pers everanct
| of Mr.. Hiner, and his fOndness for books
sent him several sessions to the Augusta Mill
| tary Academy at Fort Defiance Va.
| After leaving the academy, Mr.. Hiner chose
| the profession of teaching as his life " ork
Having taught several public schools he dis
covered the need of more practical educ atior
than he possessed; consequently, in the yea
of 1885 he entered the Dunsmore CONNIE rcia
and Business College, Staunton, Va. ron
which he graduated the same year with tn
highest honors. Prof. J. G. Dunsmore, see
ing that his pupil was possessed of the quail
ties that constitute the live, practical eac her
secured his services as such prior to his grs du
alton. So he took the position of teacher i'm
| mediately thereafter, which position he ha
held ever since to the satisfaction of the stud
ents, faculty, and president of the instisutio n
Mr.. Hlner is an earnest, enthusiastic, a1lC
conscientious teacher. He is a member of ii 4,
A Business Educators Association of America
and as principal of the Actual Department o.
| D. c. d B. College, he has been very success
full. During the absences of the president G.
the college he is put in charge of its bushes:
| affairs and management.
In the year 1889 Mr. Hiner married Miss
Annie Logan, of an old Virginia family, ano
| is now the happy and proud father of a very
precocious little boy, William Lloyd.
