"WILLIAM B. STINE.—The office holders of a community are in more than one respect the representative men of that locality. To their care is largely intrusted the welfare of their fellow men, and upon the faithful discharge of their duties depends in no small measure the advancement and best interests of the county in which they make their homes. William B. Stine is one of those representatives of Murray County, made so by the vote of the people, who in 1886 called him to the office of clerk of the District Court. He is now serving his second term therein, and his re-election was a tribute to his ability, his prompt and faithful service and a testimonial of the regard in which he is held in the county. Mr. Stine was born in Greeneville, Tennessee, July 27, 1856, a son of Christian and Mary A. (Brown) Stine. His paternal grandparents were John and Phoebe (Bower) Stine, and his maternal grandfather was William Brown, a native of Greene County, Tennessee. The latter wedded Nancy Kidwell, of the same county, who is now living in Kankakee, Illinois, with her daughter, Mrs. William Martin. The Brown family is of Irish origin, and the family was founded in America by ancestors from Ireland. The Stine family is German. The grandfather, John Stine, a man of fine physique and powerful build, died in 1882, at the extreme old age of one hundred and three years, having served eight years in the regular army and lost his right eye at the battle of New Orleans. Christian Stine, the father of our subject, was a tanner by occupation, and became a resident of Murray County, Minnesota, in 1883, locating in Lowville Township, where he resided until his death, which occurred in 1893.
The efficient clerk of the district court of Murray County spent the days of his boyhood and youth in his parents' home, attending school through the winter season, while in the summer months he became familiar with the labors of field and meadow. He assisted his father until 20 years of age in the development of the home farm, and then learned telegraphy, which he followed as a vocation at various points until called to public office. He was elected in 1886, but did not enter upon the discharge of his duties until 1888. He then served for a term of four years, after which he was re-elected, and January, 1891, was appointed by the judge of the District Court to fill a vacancy for one year, so that he is now the incumbent in the office. In addition to his official duties, he does considerable business as a real-estate dealer and notary public, and has a good knowledge of law.
Mr. Stine gives his political support to the Republican party, is widely informed on the issues and questions which mark the differences between the political organizations, and has become prominent in the local affairs of his party. As an officer he merits the trust reposed in him, and as a business man he ranks among the leading citizens of Murray County.
Mr. Stine came to this county in November, 1880, and while serving as station agent was located at Hadley. There he formed the acquaintance of Miss Minnie Lowe, and on the 28th of May, 1882, this estimable lady became his wife."
