Private LAFAYETTE HINER (September 10, 1844 - February 9, 1917), was born in Bartholomew County, Indiana. At the age of thirteen he moved with his parents to Adams County, Ohio.
He enlisted in Company D (from Scioto County, Capt. John C. Malone, commanding), of 173rd Ohio Regiment of Infantry, which was organized at Gallipolis, Ohio, and mustered in to Federal Service for one year on September 18, 1864. Colonel John H. Hurd immediately moved the regiment to Nashville, Tenn., September 18, arriving there October 1, where it performed guard duty until Hood\'s investment December 1-15, 1864. The regiment took an active part in the trenches and in support of batteries during the Battle of Nashville on December 15-16. The regiment then guarded prisoners at Nashville until February, 1865, when it was moved to Columbia, Tenn., February 15, where it continued to perform guard duty and at Johnsonville until June 20. The regiment was moved a final time to Nashville on June 20, and there was mustered out June 26. The 173rd Ohio Infantry was disbanded at Camp Dennison, Ohio, July 5, 1865.
Lafayette married to Miss Margaret E. Wagoner, of Adams County, Ohio, in 1867. They moved to Kansas in the fall of 1870, and settled in Miami County, near New Lancaster; soon afterward they removed to Newark Township, Wilson County, where they settled on a farm of 117 acres of land where they reared seven children: Joseph T., Tallis Orr, Emily S., Myrtle A., Nora C., Homer S., and Merrill William.
