_______________

In 1870, a young Daniel Hines (age 21) was living in the Milton household of William Smith, a fairly wealthy dry goods merchant. Daniel apparently worked in Smith's store as a clerk. Milton, North Carolina, had a well developed row of commercial buildings around 1870. The second building in the row (from the east) once housed Bill Smith's General Merchandise. This probably was the store of William Smith. Eventually it became Hines & Holdman General Merchandise. Query whether the Hines who was a partner in this store was the Daniel M. Hines of this entry. The site eventually became J. J. Lipscomb General Merchandise and operated as such for over seventy years. Note that a business operated in the building to the east (the first building in the commercial row) named Hines & Lipscomb Hardware and Caskets. Also note that the obituary states that Daniel Hines was in the insurance business.
