Mrs. Amanda Wines, 82 years old, one of the best known of the elderly residents of this city, died at 12:30 Sunday morning, 20 Jan 1918, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. W. (Ella C.) Wright, in Noble township, her death occurring on the same farm where she was born and where the earlier part of her life was spent. She was the widow of Capt. Elijah N. Wines, who was an honored resident of Shelby county nearly all his life and who passed away at his home on west Locust street in this city on 9 Jun 1908, at the age of 82 years. Since his death Mrs. Wines had made her home with her daughters, Mrs. Haymond (Lovina E.) Gore, of this city, and Mrs. Wright, most of the time with the former.
Mrs. Wines had gone to the home of her daughter in Noble township for a visit and on 22 Nov, last, she fell while there and suffered a broken hip. Complications arising from these injuries hastened her death.
Mrs. Wines was born in Noble township on the twenty-eighty of April, 1835. She was a daughter of the late Greenbury and Lovina (Sanford) McCarty, and was the last of ten children born to this esteemed pioneer couple. Her marriage to Captain Wines was solemnized 26 May 1853. Captain Wines, at the age of eighteen years, had enlisted with Company C, U. S. Infantry, at Madison, for service in the Mexican war and he passed his twenty-first birthday in the army. He was eight years the senior of his wife and after the Mexican war taught school, with the girl who was to be his future companion of so many years as one of his pupils. Again hearing the call of his country he enlisted in June, 1861, at Waldron; in Company K, Eighth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, for a long and valued service in the Civil war, his wife being left at home to care for their three small children. Like all the mothers of that day, she proved herself equal to the task that had confronted her. Four children had been born of their union, but David had died in infancy. The surviving children are the daughters already mentioned and a son Maurice Wines, of Dayton, O.
There are six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, the grand-children being Walter and John Ernest Wright, of Waldron; Ed Wright, of Noble township; Mrs. Mary Wines Short , of Dayton , O.; Maurice Gore and Mrs. Harry R.(Maude Gore) Young, of this city.
Mrs. Wines was a charter member of the West Street M. E. Church of this city. She was always a devout worshiper and often conducted prayer services in her own home. She and her husband were among the most hospitable residents of the county. Their home was always open to their friends and relatives, and in addition to the love and care bestowed upon their own children and grandchildren, they reared from small childhood to womanhood Mrs. Ernest Race, now of Baltimore, Md., who is best remembered here as Miss Elinore Major, who taught successfully for several years in the schools of this city.
In the case of Mrs. Wines her kindness and love for others was as bread cast upon the waters, for she had in her declining years the best of attention, all being done for her that was possible with money, science and loving hands. The sufferings that came to her in the last few weeks of her life were accepted with smiling patience and Christian faith that could only be derived from a higher source than earthly power.
Everyone who knew Mrs. Wines recognized her keenness of mind and remarkable memory. Things that had been forgotten by her relatives and friends seemed ever fresh in her memory, which was ever ready for their information. She was regarded by many as a most person mentally for one of advanced years. She was always appreciative of anything done for her comfort by children, grandchildren and other, but those who showered this wealth of love and affection upon her were agreed that they could never repay her for what she had been to them.
Mr. and Mrs. Wines never accumulated much of this world's goods, although he had held many paying positions in the political world as well as being a successful farmer for many years following the war. They seemed to take more delight in making others happy than in laying by to store for themselves and their home was always open to the public end was seldom without a few relatives or friends as guests. In addition to this kind of hospitality they were ever kind to the needy and none applied to them for charity and went away with their wants unattended. Their lives abounded in all good works.
Short funeral services were held for Mrs. Wines at the home of her daughter in Noble township at Nine o'clock Tuesday morning and the body was brought to the home of Mrs. Gore on Harrison avenue for the regular services at 10:30 o'clock. burial was made in Forest Hill cemetery in charge of Marshall G. Tindall.
The Rev. J. W. Eiler, of Waldron, officiated at the services held at the Wright residence, and the Rev. J. L. Brown, of Arlington, preach the funeral oration at the Gore home.
