Hypothesis: I have been researching this John Hineman for months, because I just KNOW he is related to our Hineman’s.

This is something I noticed today, searching census records: David and Letitia Hineman had a grandson living with them in 1870 and 1880. 1870 census lists him as John INMAN, age 1. 1880 census lists him as Elmer HINEMAN, age 11.

One descendant of the William J. Hineman (son of David and Letitia)  line stated in an email that William had a first wife that died during or after childbirth, but she had no other information. Did the child live? Is John Elmer the child? That is what I want to figure out.

It doesn’t appear that John Elmer Hineman ever had any children.  His occupation was in the dentistry field (based on census info and death record.)

Death Record:

DEATH RECORD for Olive Lenora Wigginton HINEMAN (first wife):

DEATH RECORD for Berenice Harris HINEMAN (possible second wife):

Here is the weird thing: Berenice’s death record says she is married, informant is John Hineman, husband in John Hineman. BUT, John E. Hineman died in 1936, and she died in 1940. Did John have a son named John? She is not listed as a widow. Were there two John Hineman’s in Youngtown who were in the dental field? That just seems unlikely unless one was a son. However, as the address for all three is the same, John had to have been married to both of them.

Another discrepancy in connecting this John is John Elmer Hineman’s birthdate is off two years, but since he married Berenice late in life, and she was the informant on his death record, maybe she was just off a couple of years.

The biggest issue would be that this John E Hineman’s death record it lists his father as John Hineman, not William. BUT, maybe William J. Hineman’s middle name was John, or maybe Bernice was mistaken about his name, especially with the age being off, if in fact it is the correct person at all.

Mother Trying To Get Possession Of House From Son
Case of Samantha M. Boots Against Samuel C. Boots On Trial At Court
Ejectment action brought by Mrs. Samantha M. Boots against her son, Samuel C. Boots, and daughter-in-law, Lula Boots, to secure possession of a property in Ellwood City, is being heard before Judge Hildebrand in county court today. Mrs. Samantha M. Boots, who is around 80 years of age, is the widow of James D. Boots. Under the will of her husband she was left a life interest in the property in question, with the right to consume the principal should it become necessary. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Boots is said to have made an agreement with her son and daughter-in-law whereby they were to move into her house. She was to retain one room and they were to have the balance and provide meals for Mrs. Boots. This arrangement was continued for some time when, owing to friction, Mrs. Samantha Boots wanted to secure sole possession of her home. The defendants refused to move out, claiming that it was not in accordance with the agreement made and further alleging that they had faithfully performed their part of the agreement. Mrs. Samantha Boots left the house and is now trying to get possession of it again.
