GEORGE W. KLINE DIED SUNDAY MORNING
Had Been a Resident of This Township  Forty Years
George W. Kline was born in Manheim, Lebanon Co., Penn, on the fifth day of 
Dec. 1836. His boyhood and youth were passed in his native place.
At an early date in his boyhood, his parents removed to near Bellefontaine, 
Logan Co., Ohio, where he passed his early life.
In early manhood he was a teacher in the schools of Logan Co., several of 
which he presided over. In 1862, at the time of the Civil War, he enlisted in 
the 96th Ohio regiment of  volunteers and served three years. He enlisted as a 
private soldier and received several promotions and was discharged at the 
expiration of the term of his enlistment as a regimental officer.
On April 3d, 1866,he was married to Barbara Funk, from which union seven 
children were born, five of whom survive him. In 1874 he and his family 
removed from Ohio to a farm near Cassopolis, where many years of strenuous 
work was passed in accumulating a property and raising and educating  a family 
of children. He was known by nearly all in a large community and was loved and 
respected as a genial friend and will be missed and mourned by many. 
He is survived  by five children, Miss Kate Kline, Will V. Kline, Mrs. Josie 
Morse, Mrs. Jennie Mann of Los Angeles, Cal., and Harvey of Wapata , Wash., 
and a loving wife.
On Feb. 8, at 12:30 p. m. after a protracted illness, he passed quietly from a 
long and busy life to that  "bourne whence no traveler e'er returns," aged 77 
years, 2 months and 8 days.
Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. S. 
W. Large and burial was made in Prospect Hill cemetery.
