General Notes: Husband - Charles Kline

---

He was born in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, moving to Clarion County with his parents when only eight years of age. The country was so primitive at that time that it was necessary to make the journey in wagons; the family settled for a while at Foxburg before locating finally in Salem township. He grew to maturity in Salem township, on his father's farm. In 1851 he purchased for himself a farm of twenty-five acres to which he subsequently added other land until now the place covered seventy-two acres. There he continued to farm successfully until his death. He was a prominent man in the county, being constable and tax collector; and although an ardent Democrat, he at no time aspired to political office, simply accepting what was offered him and fulfilling his duties with ability. He was a member of the Lutheran church, as were all his family, including his wife, who survived him.
