Dr. Hiester was chair of the college’s department of political and social sciences. Mrs. Hiester taught elocution / speech. The couple married in 1898 when they were both faculty members at the college.
Dr. Hiester also was associate editor of the Reformed Church Review, published by the German Reformed Church, which had created the college.
