Jesse K. Hines
Jesse K. Hines (1829 – September 20, 1889)[1] was a Democratic[2] member of the Maryland House of Delegates from Kent County and served as the Speaker of the House for the 1874 session.[3] Prior to his service in the state House, Hines was a Clerk of the Circuit Court for Kent County.[4] Hines served as a captain in the Union Army during the Civil War.[5]
Hines was the third[6] state Insurance Commissioner, from 1877 until his death twelve years later in Baltimore.[1][3] In 1881, he fought "graveyard insurance" companies whose policies had become a popular means for western Marylanders to speculate on others' deaths.[7]
