CAPT. HARMAN HINER DEAD
One by one the few remaining Confederate veterans are falling out; of line never to take their place again. Last week Col. Robert. Leach answered the last call; today we chronicle the death of Captain H. H. Hiner, widely known both as soldier and citizen. His death occurred at his home on The Thorn, Tuesday night at 10 o'clock. Captain Hiner was a son of the late Benj. Hiner, and was perhaps as widely-known as any citizen in this section of the two Virginias. He is survived by four children, viz: Mrs. Dr. W. W. Monroe and Miss Louie Hiner, who made their home with him; Mr. Arthur Hiner, of The Thorn, and Mr. B. H. Hiner, well-known in Highland and now Democratic candidate from the 2nd West Virginia district. Captain Hiner entered the Confederate service as captain of the Franklin Guards, and served, if we mistake not, throughout the war. In 1876 he was elected a delegate from Highland to the lower branch of the Virginia Legislature. He was a man of strong convictions, rare intelligence and gifted as a speaker. His estimable wife preceded him to the grave less than two years, and his remains were taken to Franklin, her resting-place, and interred on Wednesday. Dr. Wagner, of the Monterey Methodist church, was called, in the absence of Rev. H. M. Roane, to conduct the funeral service.

CAPT. HARMON HINER
Harman Hiner is critically ill at his home at Thorn, W. Va., near Franklin, as the result of injuries sustained by a fall from his buggy while on the way home from Staunton a few weeks ago. For a time his injuries, painful, were not regarded as serious. Lately a wound in his shoulder has been giving serious trouble and his physician, Dr. H. H. Jones, of Doe Hill, now expresses serious doubts of his recovery, his system failing to respond to the treatment. Since the above was put in type we learn that Capt. Hiner passed away on the 28th. He was a native of Highland county, and was about 65 years of age. At one time he represented his county in the Legislature, and made a most efficient member. He was a gallant Confederate soldier, and was a member of Stonewall Jackson camp of this city. Five children survive him.

The grave yet to be filled, soldiers marched single file, each depositing in the grave a piece of evergreen that he had previously worn on the label of his coat, as a memento of past friendships, and the assurance that the memory thereof would be kept green.

The grave was beautifully lined, and when completed was covered with flowers, all of these but speak of high esteem in which he was held and the kindness of loving friends.

He leaves five children, B.H. Hiner, and Mrs. W.H. Boggs, of this place. A.R. Hiner, Mrs. Mary H. Monroe, and Miss. Louie Hiner of Thorn, all of whom with their children constituting his ten grandchildren, followed the remains on the long lonely march.

He also leaves one brother John J. Hiner of McDowell, and four half sisters, who live in Baltimore, two of whom were here.
Captain Hiner had arranged or rather his son B.H. Hiner had arranged that they attend the Confederate Reunion and unveiling of the Monument at Beverly, on the 30th of this month but another verification of the old adage, "Man proposes, but God disposes." The morning after his death his son sent the following telegram, which received at the Reunion and read: Maj. J.F. Harding, Beverly, W.Va., - Had fully arranged to attend your reunion in company with my father Capt. Harman Hiner, of the old 25th Virginia Regiment, to which we both looked forward with much pleasure. But, last night he answered the last great roll call.
