John Hineline Jr., the sixteen year old son of Mr. And Mrs. John Hineline Sr. who live in DeSoto township, died suddenly Friday of apoplexy or heart failure, it isn't known which. He was at the DeSoto school taught by Miss Belva Wild and had been let out for the afternoon recess. With a bunch of other boys he started to run for exercise and hadn't got far when he fell to the ground dead. It might have been heart failure from the sudden exercise or a blood vessel might have given way in the brain which caused him to fall to the ground though the chances are that death would not have come so soon if the latter had been the case. The other boys shook him and thought he was playing but when he failed to speak they ran and called the teacher, Miss Wild, who tried to arouse him but couldn't and sent for his father who lives within 200 yards of the schoolhouse. Mr. Hineline came in a sleigh and took the limp body in his arms and took it home to meet an almost heartbroken mother who continued to rub his hands and arms until Doctor Murdock came over an hour later, hoping the lad might be in some kind of trance. The doctor soon convinced her that it was no use for the boy was dead. It was a severe blow to the family and the friends of the family but there was nothing to do but bare the bitter grief.
The funeral was held at the L. D. S. Church in the city Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Elder Lytle officiating assisted by Elder William Shakespeare. There were many beautiful floral offerings, one from the DeSoto neighbors, one from the DeSoto School, one from the L. D. S. Sunday School and a beautiful bouquet of white roses from Doctor and Mrs. G. A. Langstad. His three teachers, Mrs. Mildred Lippincot, Fern Ervey and Miss Belva Wild were all present.
The young man was an only son and sixteen years of age the third day of January being born on the farm where his parents now live. He was not actually robust but he had been reasonably well all his life. Beside the grief stricken father and mother he leaves an only sister, Olive, ten years old, also his grandparents on his mothers side, Mr. And Mrs. John Gutschow of this city and two aunts, Miss Anna Gutschow and nurse, Mrs. George Hineline also of this city.
