Louis Hughes Pine
1880 - 1942
My Maternal Grandfather
Below is a transcript of Memorial Exercises
Of the
Cass County, Iowa, Bar Association presented
Thursday, June 4, 1942


"Louis Hughes Pine was born near Monticello, New York, August 14, 1880, and came with his
parents to Iowa when he was four years old. He was graduated from the Atlantic High School in
1897, latter attending Des Moines University and receiving his LLB degree from Drake
University in 1900. He was admitted to the bar October 3rd, 1901, and has practiced law in
Atlantic since that time. He was married in Atlantic, May 4th, 1904, to Mary Gittins, who died
October 20th, 1941.
Mr. Pine was especially public spirited, always standing ready to give his ability and time toward
any project or movement for the public good or benefit. During his years of practice in Atlantic
he served as a member of the Atlantic School Board, Atlantic Cemetery Association, Atlantic
Library Board, President of the Atlantic Masonic Association, Director of the Atlantic Federal
Savings and Loan Association, and numerous other public and semi-public organizations. He was
willing at all times to place his own interest secondary to those of the public good. He was truly
interested in the welfare and success of all persons and especially attentive and considerate of
any educational projects.
Mr. Pine was active during his lifetime in the Atlantic Masonic organizations as a member of the
O.E.S., A.F. & A.M., York Rite, Scottish Rite, Shrine, and was Past Master of Pymosa Lodge
#271. We was also Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Congregational Church, and of the
Cass County rationing board. During the first World War, he was a member of the Legal
Advisory Board, and the Committee on American Red Cross work in Europe. He was a member of
the Iowa State Bar, and the Cass County Bar Associations.
Lou, as we all knew him, was highly respected as a lawyer, not only by the lawyers and Judges
of this District, but by the community as a whole. In legal ability he was outstanding. As a man,
his integrity and loyalty to his clients and to the court could never be questioned.
The sudden death of Lou Pine came as a shock to us all. We will miss his smile, his friendship and
his counsel. His passing is a great loss to the Bar and this community.
His work and good deeds will live forever, and he too, lives and progresses, guided as in life by
the on Divine Mind.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Bar Association of Cass County that we deeply mourn the death of our
brother, L. H. Pine, and in this hour of sorrow we extend our sincere sympathy to his children,
Leon and Mary Louise.
That his marked ability, strong conviction, courage, scholarship, dignity, and the high sense of
his obligations as a lawyer and a citizen, distinguished his life and left a memory which is an
honor to his profession and to the Bar of Iowa."

Explanation of the origins of the surname of Pine.

Pine


The English surname Pine is local in origin, belonging as it does to that large category of
surnames derived from the name of the place where an original bearer dwelt or where he once
held land. One of a set of variants which also includes Pyne and Pinn, it signifies simply
"descendant of one who dwells by the pine tree(s)", from the Old English term "pin". The
surname, whilst found throughout the British Isles, is particularly associated with the counties of
Devon and Cornwall, and it is here indeed that the earliest records of the name occur, one
Thomas de Pyn appearing in the Devonshire Rotuli Hundredorum (Hundred Rolls) of 1273. A
Herbert de Pyn appears in the same source, and a Radalphus de Pyn is included in the Court Rolls
of Henry III. Subsequently, we find a Hurcules Pine registered as a student at the University
of Oxford in 1585.
It should also be noted here that in some instances the name may have arisen through its
original bearer being an inhabitant of one of the Devonshire hamlets of the name, such as Pinn in
the parish of Otterton, which indeed first entered written records as long ago as 1086, when it
is referred to in the Domesday Book of the year, under the heading of the lands of Bramford.
It is not surprising that most of the families of the name to have been granted the right to
bear arms hail from Devonshire and the adjacent counties. The Pynes, or Pines, of Ham in
Cornwall and East Downe in Devon, for instance, are descended from Oliver Pyne, resident in
Ham in 1296, while the Pynes of Somerset are described by Clarenceux as "ancient and
honourable, long time bearing arms".
