From Wednesday's Daily
At six-ten Tuesday evening Captain E. N. Wines ended his long and useful life at his home on West Locust street in this city. Captain Wines was one of the oldest and best known citizens of the city. He had held many ofices of trust during his long life and had in each case filled the office with honor to himself and credit to the country.
Captain Wines was born November 1, 1826, in Hawkins county, Tennessee. He came to this state with his parents when a child of two years. He was the son of John and Margaret (Walton) Wines. When the family first came to this state they resided at Milford.
The family history of Capt. Wines shows him to have been a member of a battle-scarred American family. The members of this family were ever ready to answer the call of their country in times of national peril. The grandfather of the captain was killed in 1776, the early days of the American Revolution. His father, John Wines, was killed in the battle of Horse Shoe Bend while fighting for the flag under General Jackson. (NOTE: this info may not be correct as it appears he is buried in Jones Cemetery - d.o.d. Mar. 13, 1853)
The first time Captain Wines was under fire was in the Mexican War. He was then a young man of twenty and when the call to arms was sounded he was one of the first to shoulder a musket. He enlisted as a private in Company C, Sixteenth United States Infantry at Madison, Indiana, and served thru the Mexican War under Generals Wool and Taylor. He was in the army hospital most of the time during the Mexican struggle , having contracted a chronic case of diarrhea.
He was mustered out of service August 15, 1848, at the close of the war. After his retirement from the army he came to Shelby county to live, where he met and married Amanda, daughter of Greenberry and Lovina (Sanford) McCarty, on the twenty-sixth day of May, 1853. His bride was born April 28, 1835. To this union was born four children, David S. (deceased), Ella Caroline Wright, John Maurice and Lovina Emeline Gore.
In 1861 he heard the call to arms again and left the farm to enlist in Company K, 18th Indiana volunteer Infantry, at Waldron. He served for a time under General Hunter in Missouri and Arkansas. He had joined the company as a first lieutenant, but was soon promoted to a captain and was transferred to another regiment. In February he resigned his commission and in July of the same year he re-enlisted as captain of Company A, 76th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, which position he held until he lift the army. During his last enlistment he served in Kentucky, fighting the notorious guerillas. He was present when Lieutenant Braden was killed. From Kentucky he was sent to Missouri and Arkansas where he spent his time fighting the bush-whackers. His term of enlistment expired in August, 1862, and he was mustered out of service at Indianapolis.
In 1863 Captain Wines moved to Tipton county, where he engaged in the mercantile business until 1867, when he moved to Richmond, where he resided for one year, being engaged at that time in the lumber business. He returned to Tipton county in 1869 and remained there, handling merchandise, until 1875, when he returned to Noble township, Shelby county. In 1889 he moved to this city and has lived here ever since.
When Captain Wines first came to this state, the city of Shelbyville was one of the many Hoosier frontier villages. Fields and forests covered the ground now occupied by the most substantial buildings and dwellings of the city. He saw the little settlement grow into the thriving city which it is today. The deceased was wont to relate many interesting stories of the two wars in which he was engaged. He could tell many stories of interest which are not given in any of the American histories.
He was not well known to the younger generation of this city for the reason that he has been confined to his home for several years. He was a member of Dumont Post No. 18 G. A. R., and had been a Mason for about fifty years. He was also a member of the M. E. church and was a faithful attendant during the time when he was able to get out.
Besides being an officer in the army, Mr. Wines held several civil offices of trust. He served as trustee of Noble township, this county, in 1860. While he resided in Tipton county he was elected and served as justice of the peace. He also served as councilman from the old third ward in this city during the time when Marshal Don Bruce was shot. From 1887 to 1889 he served as United States store-keeper. His last public work was the superintending of the Gordon Children's Home.
The funeral services were held at the late residence of the deceased Friday morning at ten o'clock. The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. Ruben Moore, former pastor of the West street M. E. church. He was assisted by the Rev. G. Jensen. Interment took place in Forest Hill cemetery. The casket was open to friends from 4:30 Thursday to 8 p. m. Thursday and from 7:30 until the time of the funeral Friday. The funeral arrangements were in charge of the G. A. R.
