Obituary from the Slater News Rustler of Friday, June 1, 1934.
George C. Hains, ex-confederate soldier, died Friday night, May 25, at 9:30 o'clock at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Hubert E. Page, and Mr. Page. He was 90 years, six months and 23 days old.
As quietly and peacefully as he had lived, death came. He had been suffering from hardening of the arteries, and for thirty-six hours prior to his death he had been growing steadily weaker. All of his eleven children were with him at the time of his death except Mrs. R. C. Potter of Superior, Nebraska., who had started, reaching the home at o'clock Saturday morning.
Funeral services were held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Page on Rich Street Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. R. W. Settle, pastor of the Slater Baptist Church. Burial was in the City Cemetery. Pallbearers were five of his sons, R. L. Hains, John C. Hains, W. H. Hains, George W. Hains, R. N. Hains, and a son-in-law, H. E. Page. The flowers were carried by twelve granddaughters.
George Carlisle Hains was born at Jeffersontown, Culpepper County, Virginia, November 2, 1843, son of Simeon Daniel Hains and Matilda Triplet Hains. He was married to Miss Elizabeth McCourt at Barnesville, Ohio, in 1846. They continued to make Barnesville their home until moving to Virginia, where they lived until coming to Missouri fifty-two years ago. A few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Hains moved from their farm home near Slater to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Page. Mrs. Hains died October 3, 1930.
Twelve children were born to them. One child, Mrs. Sam H. Hill, passed away several years ago. The surviving children are R. L. Hains, former representative from Saline county and now mayor of Slater, J. C. Hains, postmaster, G. W. Hains, Mrs. V. E. Grimes, Mrs. H. E. Page, Mrs. P. M. Jeter, Miss Minnie Hains of the home, all of Slater; W. W. Hains, R. N. Hains, editor of the Democrat-News, and Mrs. C. L. Grimes of Marshall; and Mrs. R. C. Potter, of Superior, Nebraska. A number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren survive.
All the sons and daughters have always been devoted to their father, but the attention and affection by Miss Minnie has been outstanding and probably unparalleled. Her main interest in life has been the care of her parents and since the death of Mrs. Hains she has been especially attentive to her father and solicitous of his health and welfare.
Mrs. Page by her kindness and care supplemented that of Miss Minnie and the two daughters gave their father every comfort in his last years. Mr. Page by his devotion was like a son and showed a great love for Mr. Hains.
Mr. Hains represented a type of citizenship that is fast passing. He with his wife, found great pleasure in rearing a large family of children and with satisfaction saw them all become good and useful citizens. No greater heritage than this can be left by any man. This he accomplished largely by example, precept and unselfish living.
Mr. Hains joined the Confederate army, when seventeen years old, and served through the four years of conflict between the states. He belonged to the eighth Virginia Regiment of the Piedmont Riflemen, serving under General Longstreet and Col. Eppie Hunter, and was service in the principal engagement in Virginia and surrounding territory.
The deceased was educated in private schools in Virginia. He retained his mental faculties to the last and was able to read to some extent without the aid of glasses, his hearing was acute, and he manifested a keen interest in his children and the affairs of his country.
He had confessed his faith in God and lived his life according to Christian principles.
