Biographical sketch
Jonnie J. Hiner, born in 1897, in Staunton, Virginia, was a member of [then] State Normal School for Women, class of 1917. She was the sixth daughter of Henry and Margaret Hiner to attend the school. While at State Normal School, she was a member of the Pierian Literary Society, D.I.R.K., YWCA, and the Blue Ridge Club. Additionally she served on the staff of The Focus (literary magazine) and on Student Government. In 1922, Jonnie Hiner married longtime boyfriend, Richard M. Hamrick, a funeral director in Staunton. Jonnie Hiner's sister, Mary Clay Hiner was a professor of English at the school from 1905 to 1947 and her sister Winnie Victoria Hiner was Clerk to the Business Manager from 1913 to 1923 and then treasurer of the school from 1924 to 1955. Their combined 84 years of service to the school was honored in 1962 when a newly remodeled campus building was named Hiner Hall (now home to College of Business and Economics).
