Mother Hines was a devout Christian. She united with the Baptist church at about 15 years of age. Those beautiful words in Proverbs may truly apply to her life. " Her children arise up and call her blessed," and the fragrant influence of her useful quiet life of good deeds and kindly ways will bless others always. Interment was in Hopewell Cemetery, and the new mound was banked with floral offerings.
No sorrowing thought can reach thee, No grief is thine today. God gives thee joy for mourning, and He wipes all tears away. She will be waiting in that golden city, where Holy Angels wait, And when we cross the River she will be waiting at the gate." To welcome her loved ones Home.
